The first set of fotos came from the seller, thats why the color difference.
I only had the fotos befor buying, but there is definitely no crack.
There were definte marks of rough handling on teh package, the rifle was packed up good, but not good enough for those dickheads
I showed teh pictures to a workmate(piano bulider) and he asured me, that the wood is Mahagoni, not the best stock wood on earth, too fagile.
I still wait foa a reply of a professinal stock maker, I could try repairing myself, but since I am not sure about it, I will not try, there is only one chance.
