    Usps got me this time

    Just bought a beautiful Remington 521T. when it arrived at my dealer he called and said it had been damaged. It was slammed on the butt breaking the butt plate and toe off the stock. Of course it wasn't insured. all the times I have had them insured and never needed it but of course it happens when not . Seller is great and is handling it well but I want to keep it and fix it. I know Trap55 will fix the stock as it is a clean break but need help with the butt plate.

    I understand it is a different size butt from the other 500 series as it is a target stock. Anyone know what will fit? although a 513T butt plate is metal not plastic will it fit? Numrich has none in stock and lists it as a 521 or 521T only. I would take a new stock if someone had a original or a parts gun they could let go of. I guess a last resort would be to buy something larger and fit it to the stock. looking for anyone with some knowledge or experience to help. A Remington collector who would pull out theirs and see if any others would fit would be nice too.

    My advice is always demand it be insured and learn from me as I have failed to learn from the horror stories of others. Justin

    Not really a horror story just sounds like it wasn't packaged correctly.

              Trap I knew you would fix the stock as what else are friends for. I still wonder if a 513 buttplate will fit right on there. I bet you have one on those extra stocks too. Well if nothing else a good reason to get to the reno show again and look. It just bugs how beautiful the gun was and now I will always know its there.

                Sucky!

                Aww man sorry to see that Justin! Couldn't you just use a target stock off of a 513T? Or is it that it would bug you not having it totally original ( not that I'd blame you since it looks really sweet ).

                      Well not sure what to say but I owe you one TRAP. Well as long as it is still there. I will find out when they open tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed.

                        Quoting that, so it doesn't get lost.
                        If it's gone, I have a plan B to get a free repro. That would entail repairing your broken one, or borrowing one for a couple of weeks, to get a clean mold from.

                          It is ordered. only one they had. Now just need some stock magic when you have time.
