This is a better picture of the broken part.

This is the ramp kinda thing that pushes the shells up. It's broken off as you can see.

That goes in there. Well...it's supposed to.

Me looking super cool holding my first shotgun. Sadly, it's broken.

Could you guys please give me a hand with this sucker? I'm not worried about messing it up, since it's already pretty messed up. It's currently a single shot shotgun, but I'd like to get it back to it's potential as a tube feeding shotgun. :wave:
 
$37.00? Thanks for the thought Nine...but that's not really in my budget.
If anything, I might try slathering on some oven cleaner on the stock or something, and then throwing it in the dishwasher to raise the dents. Then glue up the cracks and refinish.

$37 is too much to spend on this gun...since I bought it for $20!
 
I've seen one of these lifters repaired by welding. Know a good welder? Use epoxy glue to repair the stock. 12ga has recoil, repairs will have to be sound, or the stock will break gain. Make sure the recoil lug is well bedded. Shotgun parts need an export licence from the US Dept. of Commerce. You could try Western Gun Parts in Edmonton.
You may find out why the gun was sold for $20.
 
Keep your eye out for another $20 shotgun of the same model that has the parts you need. Another $20 and you have a working 12 gauge for $40 and some spare parts . Any working 12 gauge under $50 is a bargain. Until you find or fix the lifter , bolt or pin a block of wood to fill in the stock and make it a single shot and enjoy until you have the pieces you need. When epoxying a cheap stock predrill a undersized hole and after you put in the epoxy, screw in a drywall screw covered with epoxy that is long enough to suck it up tight . If it sucks tight together with the head still sticking out so much the better, less to show when finished. Snip off any ends that stick out , file flush and finish.

You can't look at guns stuff that way. :rolleyes:
If you fix it it will probably give you many years of enjoyment.

Then again where you drunk when you first looked at it? :D

As you can see, the recoil of the thing is what is destroying the stock (I'll assume, since I've never shot it).

The bubba has taken a screw and churned it into the stock with a huge and ugly square nut on the other end to keep it in the stock. You can just make out the threads inside the grip in this picture.
Instead of an actual lug, he's just tossed a washer in there. For a 12 gauge, it's pretty safe to assume this isn't adequete.

Suggestions?
 
I don't believe you unless you show me a pic. I got mine from Hong Kong. They're pretty hard to find. Last time I checked, only place left on the internet selling them was some Russian company that might have been scam artists.

Proof!
And shotgun help? :(

All you need are two big screws. Placed about 24" apart, up on the wall.

Bwahaha. :D

Other then that start looking for parts, or sell her on the EE as a project/parts gun.
 
Why don't you try building up the recoil affected area with bedding compound? For the cracked stock, drill same diameter holes about 1/4" apart thru the crack (both sides), then take round toothpicks, carpenters wood glue, Crazy glue and some clamps. Now;
After you drill holes,spread crack apart & fill with crazy glue, take carpenter glue, mix with saw dust, put into hole, break off tip of toothpick, insert all the way in hole leaving the other end of toothpick intact, clamp and let sit for 24hrs ensuring that while clamped it is squeezing the crack closed.
After 24hrs carefully snip off toothpick ends, sand and re-finish, "Voila".
Parts & accesories should'nt cost more than $20.
 
Here's what mine look like;

Works like a charm and is very sturdy, I did this to my Ithaca 37 16 gauge and a BP .50cal Pedersolli, Well over a year ago...No prob's

Thanks a lot Huntsman. I will definitely give it a shot on the stock.

Regarding the broken part, H Wally is going to make the part for me. :)

Seriously guys, you want some cheap gunsmithing done for you? Ask that guy. Talented individual.

You can then cover the whole stock in about 4 coats of Duracolour bedliner, and give it a nice "tactical" look. :D

That may actually be a good idea. Is that stuff so tough that it wouldn't ever break the stock? I'd only need a little bit...where do you only get a little bit of bedliner?
