Where can I find...?
Mesophilic:
Thanks guys, I appreciate the help.
Eric, my gun building experience comes modern Lego style guns. I think I could glue this stock back together and add some hidden pins to reinforce the glue line but it would be a nicer option if I could replace it at a reasonable price.
Eric Krewson:
The post on the M/L forum came up with mostly glue it back together but one guy offered this site as a dealer for Pedersoli parts, you could give them a call and se what they say.

One guy pointed out the trigger was bent as well, no big deal to straighten out and make it fit the straightened trigger guard.
I cold forge my own triggers on single trigger guns, it is actually fun.
Mesophilic:
Thanks for the help, Eric. That trigger does look fun...I bet I could do one.
I made some phone calls that all ended with emailing Pedersoli. Pedersoli got back with me and said the SN dates to 2004 but it's been too long and they can't tell me the model. So I sent them some pictures per their request and I'm waiting to hear back from them.
In the meantime, I glued the stock back together with some G Flex epoxy, once that cures and it's out of the clamps I'll work on a fill for a section of missing wood under the left side plate.
I do need to find or make a tiny punch to drive out the pins that hold the ramrod tubes in place so I can sand and refinish.

Remember when you posted this brass annealing procedure?
Well #### it, I forgot about it and snapped the trigger guard >:(
Eric Krewson:
You could braise it back together and file is back to shape.
I forgot to soften a trigger and gave it a little bend, it snapped. I used solder paste to put it back together with a scarf joint. I bought a new trigger, some day I will change the patched one out with the new one, some day.
