Whilst not being personally in favour of repair in stocks like this there is an issue that you may wish to consider. A couple of years ago a stock was brought to me ,broken . I said that it need to be restocked and quoted for the work . The customer declined and took it elsewhere and it was subsequently repaired . The repair was very good and difficult to spot unless you knew where to look . A while later the stock again broke ,this time the customer decided to have it restocked and claimed on his insurance . The insurance company on inspecting the gun discovered the repair and immediately rejected the claim on the grounds of that previous repair . They also informed him that they would not have been liable for any claims for injury ,had they arisen as for the same reasons.
