I am planning to stick to the 1 oz loads for now, and plan to have the gun looked at before too long. The stock appears to be expertly repaired, very much like the Fox I had repaired.
I would think, but do not know for sure that anyone that went through the expense of having the stock redone, and the crack fixed, would have glass bedded it as well, but will try to find that out. Is there any real trick to taking off the side plates and taking a peek? This is the first Smith or sidelock I have ever owned. So have no experience taking it apart.
