Title: Knight stock cracked
Post by: CP on October 23, 2017, 12:25:30 PM: My Bighorn stock cracked all the way through, just below the safety. Is this repairable or should I just find a replacement?

:dunno:

That is exactly the opposite of my experience in 2014. They sucked. Thankfully the secretary stepped up and made things right after many calls and a long wait. Hopefully things have changed there!

Just out of curiosity... do you know who you talked at night about this problem? And the stock looks newer than I was thinking - how old is the rifle?

Your fix sure looks like it could do the job very well for you.

Post by: CP on November 01, 2017, 09:16:48 AM: I don’t know who I talked to but the rifle is at least 10 years old and the cause of the crack is: "I stepped on it." I can’t really blame them for not covering it.

Ooops - that explains it all... Still think you probably have solved your problem...
