Glad you are sorted, but in addition to what you 1st did a few wraps of fibreglass matting around the break and you could have reshaped and finished the stock back to as good a finish as it was previously. Might be worth doing for later if you decide to sell.

 

But the 1 thing that hasn't been raised in this topic, and to be honest it should have been, this "accident" goes to show why safety catches are fitted to all rifles and why they should be used religously.

I bet more shooters get shot by their mates than their enemies :yes:
