Next time beat the kids with a Baikal!

Now you can have it stocked to your exact dimensions - oh the joy. Hope it was insured.

BTW, I am certain this in no way applies to BLH but guns with horrid stocks (too short, poor wood, old and dry, extensions and inserts etc bought cheaply for these reasons) that were insured handsomely have a habit of getting broken - then the nice insurance company pays for a re-stock job that is exactly as the owner wants it.

Seriously Barry, It must be ahorrible feeling when you see the thing 'go' - I hope only the stock was damaged and that you, the barrels and action are all still in good shape. As the owner of a Boss 28 bore, you are indeed still blessed.

The wood looks like it has a fungus. It has the same texture as spalted wood, which is a fungus.

There's definitely something odd about the wood: too dry and too old? My guess is the owner stumbled forward with all his weight coming on the gun.
