I have an old double barrel shotgun which has developed splits down both sides of the stock where it meets the reciever. Pictured Below.
A couple questions:
(1) First, if anyone can help me identify this gun in order to find the proper fore-stock and fore-iron, I already have a thread started. It looks like the gun may be a Stevens 215 or other older stevens model. Here is the thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=323429&highlight=hercules
(2) The split in the picture below lies inbetween the arrows, and is found on both sides. I have a feeling that filling the crack with glue wouldn't be enough... I was thinking about putting in a couple brass pins or something. But I am no expert and that is why I am asking for suggestions as to how to best repair the cracks.
Thanks
