Repairing "The matchstick stock"
This stock was damaged by the shipper, disgraceful. It takes a lot to do this much damage. If the owner likes to reveal himself that'd be fine I just didn't get his permission, but he did give permission to run a thread.
I've nicknamed this one the matchstick for obvious reasons.
I'll post pics of the progression. As always,,Thanks for looking.
Here's what I started with.

Some shots of glueing up and some pin locations. All pinning will be hidden.

As of today all glued up and in the process of cleaning up and blending.

I want to know who the shipper was? Is it all on the shipper or was the packiging marginal? Hard to see that much damage if it was shipped nude with a shipping lable.
Very fine recovery!

Nice Work -- you saved it a second time -- Looks like it's a jinxed gun from the replacement of the bottom half of the buttstock.
Did the Shipper pay for damages? And who was the Bulldozer Shipper run by a Tank Commander that did more damage than a dozen Bubbas?

That looks 100% better than when I hand it off too you. All I can say is wow. The rifle was shipped with 2 others all wrapped with bubble wrap an then shrink wrap. Then was stuffed with that pop corn that taste so bad. Fed-X dropped them off in my drive way with out signature. Been a big fight over it with them, The shop who sent them is still fighting over it. they made it right for me. According to there police only firearms shipped in the factory box can be insured for replacement. I think driver drove over them, Other two were bad but were parts rifles to begin with so were cut up any way.
