So this gun has been in my family for...forever as far as I know. I know my grandfather got it from his father and gave it to my dad at some point. Mom told me I could have it a while ago but I've never done anything with it. For as long as I can remember (and as long as my mom can remember) the stock has been cracked and it has not been fired in probably 50 years. First off, I have no interest in shooting this gun, but I would like to at least make it holdable. It is a muzzleloader that is a good 5' or so in length. It is heavy and thus can't be held with the stock cracked. I'm interested in your thoughts on what it would cost just have have another stock put on it, or possibly have this one repaired to the point that it could at least hold it's own weight? I'm not super concerned with increasing/decreasing it's value as I won't ever be selling it; however I would like to keep it as original as possible. Thoughts on costs?
