Hi everyone...apologies, I have been too busy with work to post an update, and pictures. To make a long story short (until I can give a mode detailed post), the stock repair felt really solid...and I tested it today, with no problems developing. Mind you, it was only a quick test....6 shots, only 2 of which were at full charge 68 grains FF black powder. It was a test of not only the stock, but the barrel too...first time I fired it since I bought it in March. Maybe its the first time its been fired in approx 153 years. Anyhow, its a real beast...couldnt imagine standing shoulder to shoulder with other soldiers while Minie balls were being fired back at me.
I'll try to post pics of the repaired stock in the next couple weeks.
