Been meaning to follow up on the stock repairs by Mark Larson on my 10. The head of the stock had small cracks on each side where wood fits against the metal. I sent it off to Mark early November to stabilize fissures and glass bed the stock. There was more damage than expected. Mark shaved the triangular shaped side panels down about 1/8" and added walnut veneer panels and blended them in to strengthen the head. We first tried the sunburst reproduction pad, but it was too small and didn't look right. We settled on the period pad replacement. The gun was ready by mid December but I had to stop him from shipping it as we were out of country Christmas. This is the second stock repair I've had Mark do in the last two years and I couldn't be more pleased.
