Type 47 Siamese ... broken stock
Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2009 11:58 pm
I had just bought a Siamese Type 47 Carbine a week ago for a great price and when I received it today via the Post Office ... guess what ? ... they broke the stock at the wrist. The weapon was well packaged with bubble wrap and newspaper but it looks like someone just tossed it around not caring. I am going to PO tomorrow to complain.
I am going to have it repaired by Lee (candyman) who is on surplusrifleforum and does miracles with broken or cracked wood. I have seen his work and I bet when he gets done with it you will not be able to tell it was broken at all.
Here is a picture of the weapon before the break
