Help with Stevens 77A 12 ga.

[Glassman66]

I recently was given a 77A 12 ga that has the stock broken off. I do not have the stock. The gun is pretty worn and rusty, and I don't want to spend any money on it.

Any ideas on how to repair this? I haven't found one used and Numrechs has them but they are $55. I am thinking of just making a pistol grip or modifying one to fit and throw it under the bed for a little insurance.

What do you guys think?

The pistol grip would work best for you, as long as the barrel is at least 18" long and the OAL will be 26" or more (to stay legal w/o paying a $200 BATF fee for an SBS).

Long time ago I bought the military unfinished blanks for 77 from Numrich, they rang me like $5 a pop. They had to be sanded down of course, but for the price!
They were a whole inch shorter than the civilian stocks as well. All 3 types they used to have are now sold out.
Boyds sells a finished stock for $60 and theirs are nice.

One option is to design your own pistol grip and have it 3D printed.

I think I will make my own, I am a bodyman and have woodworking skills. Might take a little bit, but cost should be low!

That trigger guard /stock mount casting is the worst feature of that model. From your photo it looks like you have a ring to JB Weld a stock mounting nut to then rig a stock tothat. I have a Noble pump broken worse than yours so I'll just sell it to GPC. Not even close to worth fixing. Good luck! Best, Thomas.
