Looking for Gunsmith to "pin" and fiberglass an old Ithaca SKB Model 100 Stock.

I am looking for someone to wooden pin and fiberglass the insides of an old Dunville Ontario Ithaca Model 100 Fajen side by side stock.

Preferably from Alberta.

Not too complicated, but I do not have the proper hi-speed drill and the required holding vise that is needed.

Any suggestions?

I don't know if it's too late or this might help, but there's a couple of good gunsmiths in BC, if you're interested. Bits of Pieces and Rusty Wood trading...
 
I can fiberglass it back together, with no problems...but do you want fiberglass or do you just want it put back together...
Cheers
Brian
I've been in and ran a fiberglass business for 20+ years.
 
Why choose wooden pins instead of brass ones? Just wondering. Trying to develop my stock repair abilities and generally use braising rod for the pins after roughing them up with a grinder to better hold the glue, thought they would deal with shock better? Use a two part high end epoxy for glue.
 
Just an FYI for you for future ref. These guns are SKB made and only imported by a fella in Dunnville, ON.

"Fajen" refers to the Reinhart Fajen Gunstock Company of Missouri, which made and sold aftermarket semi-finished stocks. The stock on your Ithaca/SKB is a replacement.

I had a Winchester Model 23 side by side that my dumbass brother decided to shoot three inch goose shells out of. Those three inch shells split the stock just like on this SKB 100. I had the Model 23 stock repaired with hardwood pins with an internal fiberglass treatment to strengthen the inner wood. Then a touch of proper furniture stain fixed the furniture up and I resold it for a thousand bucks. Mind you the gun had a serial number of 00009. That might have been a selling point. Anyways. I think Hagar out of Edmonton is no longer fixing guns. He was a bit ill the last time I saw him.

I am going to check Rusty and these Alberta fellows out. I know there are a couple of actual side by side gunsmiths in Ontario. but a cheap gun like this does not require that much delicate handling.

More precisely, Ithaca/SKBs were made in Japan by SKB for Ithaca, whose operations included an assembly and repair plant in Dunnville, Ontario. When the plant closed in 1978 or 79, Ithaca loaded up the remaining Dunnville parts inventory into tractor trailers to take to the Ithaca facilities in Ilion, NY. When the trucks were turned back at the U.S. border due to paper work complications, a former employee (Ron Sharpe) of the Dunnville facility bought up all the parts and established Sharpe's Guns. Ron was not importing guns (to my knowledge), but was the North American go-to guy for parts and service of Ithaca/SKB guns. A few years ago Ron stopped servicing guns but was still selling parts at that time.
