Jonty, Thanks for the compliment about the little Boss 28b.The repair situation came about after the gun arrived and I sat at my bench with a'Heineken' at hand and thought this is about as bad as 'IT can get.As I Disassembled each part of the action and 'bits of stock either fell out/off I saw 'Restock Me'.When I spoke with the Client, He left the decision entirely in my 'Hands'. If I rebuilt the original stock and I felt satisfied that it was'As I say Strong as a Brick Out-House' and It passed all of my Flex-Test in my Setting Jig, with the Bbl/action held firmly in the 'Head-Lock' I flex the stock 1/2" in all 4 directions,several times, then repeat the test several more times. As all was well, I shot aprox 175 rounds of 1 oz loads( over a 2 day period)The Client is aware of my offer that if any time in the 'near future' there is a 'Melt-Down'I will restock the little bugger and come in under the $15,000.oo London price!!
