Thanks guys. When ever I do a repair I take the least amount of wood away I can to get a repair in. If I have to contour something in to make it right I do.
The grip fix is fairly easy compared to many of the repairs I do. Putting a complete side on a stock is one of my hardest next is the new front ends on sporterized rifles. Inlaying is the easiest and chunked out areas.
I can fix these if anyone cares to have it done and I can fit it in-between my other work { I have a day job} for free. You pay shipping is all I ask. Rick B
