Replacement stock for Traditions Rifle
Is it possible to order a replacement stock for a Traditions "Shenandoah" rifle?
I am at work and can't look up their phone number (company firewall aka: "the man.")
I managed to split the wood while hammering the barrel pins back in to place. That is what happens when it is late and your in a hurry to get the job done..../shakes head.
Thanks,
~Robert

RE: Replacement stock for Traditions Rifle
I think that's the only source. Either take it to a wood shop for repair or get ready to pay alot of money for a new Shenandoah stock.
Those pins are supposed to stay in. No need to remove the stock - as long as you keep re-cleaning/sealing the corners where the barrel meets the stock. I use Hoppes Gun Grease with my Shenandoah. It keeps moisture, hand oils/stock oils, cap residue & powder fouling out. As a matter of fact, Hoppes Gun Grease is now in my bore too.
I hang that rifle on a wall in my family room with a powder horn hanging below the trigger guard. Using storing oils left an oil spot on the carpet once - so now I use the grease. That's the best feature of this grease ... it's intended for guns like mine that might not see any hunting/range use for several years.
On a last note, if you need help thoroughly cleaning that rifle's powder channels/drum area while leaving the stock on -- this includes hot water flushing.... I'll help you solve your cleaning problems. All you need to do is ask. I don't want to type it now thou.... it's another paragraph or two.

RE: Replacement stock for Traditions Rifle
I contacted Traditions reference a cracked stock on one of my rifles. I was told "glue it." When I asked if there were other stocks, they told me to purchase a different rifle somewhere if I wanted a stock to fit it. It seems since they no longer make this model, they had nothing to do with them anymore, reference the stock. So I glued the stock and have been shooting it with 70 grains and under for a couple years now with nothing happening to the fix...
