Yup. I fell on the edge of the cattails. Frozen ground is hard.
I've fallen and broken guns a couple of times before, but this one is quite a bit worse - the metal work is out of my league. The wood might be.
I had repaired this gun once - repairing an old repair and inserting some internal steel, but this was too much.
Constructive suggestions always welcome.

Ouch!that is a big project, I can fix the metal for you and get the stock pattern worthy if you are up to restocking it.

Brent,
Since the break is in the checked area, the repair can be done so it's not noticeable.

Thanks for the comments. I will follow up. But let's get this thread back to happier pictures. I'll be back chasing pheasants this weekend. I intend to have better photos to share. And PM's with helpful suggestions are appreciated, including those already sent. I have some options.

Brent that looks like some serious bad luck for a fine gun. Modern wood mechanics can do wonders to bring them back from the brink though. I wish you the best with your new project...Geo

Jeff, MuttPak and I hit the woods early today and finished by 10 a.m. Abby and Willa on point after we finished shooting. Once again we couldn't get out of the woods without finding birds. All told we had 25 flushes including wild flushes without a dog being near the birds. Jeff's gun is a Spanish .410 imported by Jana of Denver. Probably a Loyola. My gun is the Ithaca SKB 100 20 ga.

Hey all, well, today was the last day of our upland season. For us it was a poor one. The wet weather we had prevented the crops from coming in until late. The snow storms we had shut down some of the cover or made it impossible to get to. There were birds, but they were getting wild at the end here. But, on the plus side, no one got hurt (except Raina who tore herself open on a corn stalk) and no problems with vehicles or guns. So for that I'm very thankful! Thank you Lord and St Hubert for another season! I also want to comment on all the great pictures you folks posted and keeping this thread civil and friendly. Today I managed a Hun, it was a wonderful weather day for the last, warm, sunny and lighter winds. But, all we saw were hens today, just a couple boy birds that flushed wild. Yesterday I dropped a Rooster, but was unable to find him, that was a shame! I used my 16ga FN today  Addie getting the Hun  My son Jim at the end of a push  Best to all, Greg
