Repaired wrist on English grip SXS

[dak0ta]

Hi,

I was wondering if a crack on the wrist of a English stock will be prone to cracking again, or if it has been properly repaired.

I want to buy a Brno SXS but the only caveat is that it has a repaired wrist crack, chokes are IC, M.

Brno SxS 12GA. Very good bores. 28 1/4 inch barrel. Mod & I.C. Double trigger, ejectors. Stock has a repaired crack around wrist. . Shows some handling marks. Overall very good condition

If it keeps cracking, then the stock was probably never fitted to the metal. You may mend the crack (heat lamp to soften the glue, wood wedge to open the crack, something to scrape out the old glue, acraglass to mend and clamps), but it will crack again because of the poor fit.

I would assume that the stock will break again, or at least has a high probability of breaking again. I would see how much it would cost to install a new stock, then take that amount off the price.

Depends on why it cracked in the first place!

Was it recoil? OR did someone take a spill with it??? OR ?

It also depends on how it was repaired. If it was just glued together with Elmer's glue (I've seen it...) then no, it won't hold. If it was repaired properly with brass pins and something like Acraglas, I would not have any trouble buying it. (I've had several and I've done several...works good)

Those are good durable guns. That said, unless I knew exactly how the repair was done I would pass and keep looking. They are out there. My 16 gauge that I have had for a number of years.
