    Highwood Stock Repair

    Mery Christmas everybody. I had this collector grade IO H.W. come in for repairs. It had a nasty couple of cracks in the right rail and had about an inch and a half of the end of the the H.W. chipped off. I have it compared to a good highwood. First pic should be last, I got them mixed up. oopps

    Best Regards.....Frank

    P.S. GO PACKERS!!!

    For this one I used Loctite S.G. Gel. I also used a technique to make a stronger bond on the chip patch.....Frank
