Hi MrGrumpy
Thanks for the info, I'll send them an email and keep my fingers crossed.
What happened? Well, visited my local range today and had a lovely day shooting a couple of my rifles with friends, the wolverine being the last one. Got a message from the misses that she was finishing early, changing the time for me to leave so I started packing up. Was chatting to a couple of the guys while doing so and then the phone rang.m Answered that then got distracted by another conversation. Then realised the time and realised I really had to get going.
As I was distracted by the phone, conversations etc, I did not do my normal check routine. Picked up the bag and discovered to my cost that I had not fully zipped it shut! I watched as the rifle fell out and headed down towards the cold, hard floor.
I did my best to first catch it and them hinder it's decent with my foot - to no avail. My knees and back are not what they used to be since playing rugby, work and other such activities when I was younger and could not get it in time. Imagine my face as I watch it bounce and then make a horrid sound.
Anyway, the outcome is I currently have a shortened Wolverine C.
The stock has snapped in the thumb hole area at the top and bottom. It is a clean break however and it may be able to be repaired. Alas, it was a fantastic piece of walnut and I'm hoping the repair will be almost seamless.
However, if I do ever want to sell the gun I know a repair will hurt the value - hence why I'm on the lookout for a potential replacement. Also as a backup if the current stock cannot be fixed for any reason.
Please don't judge me too harshly! I know it's a rookie mistake, but accidents do happen. Will make sure I do my checks fully without fail in the future.
