LostVaquero Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Last stage shooting my coach gun it felt wobbly. I did not think about it heading to rifle and pistols. When I picked up the gun the entire fore stock fell off. It was cracked from front to back. Found a place selling replacement stocks and ordered one but just wondering if this has happened to others.

Deadshot Dan Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Howdy LQ, was the fore end wobbly before you noticed the crack ? I have one that's been wobbly for about as long as iv'e had it and am sure it could probably crack at some point too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I bought two new Stoagers 12 years ago when I started shooting Cowboy . Figured I had one as a backup and one as my main shotgun . Had one slicked up by Doc Noper ( Shameless Plug ) And left the other one stock . Too this date I have never needed to use the second one . Everyone calls them a cheap beginners shotgun . But Mine have served me well . Just sayin . Rooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach Taylor,SASS#14359 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I've had 3 coach guns, one I shot for the first time at a match and the forend fell off after one stage. As the gun was brand new , I sent it back to Stoeger for repair. They had to refit the forend so it was tighter. I had another where the stock split near the opening lever, the dealer told me this was common with that gun. in spite of this , they still shoot well, nothing ever happened to the other one. Aside from all the 97's the are still all around. Other than some wood problems , the guns are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_of_Hearts Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Cheap sapwood and machine fitting are not the way to get a stock to last. Bedding the stock at the recoil lug will significantly reduce the chance of the stock splitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontier Lone Rider Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I have replaced three. I started with a stoeger Supreme Coachgun about seven years ago. It started misfiring and I discovered the forearm was cracked from the back to the front. This allows the metal to slide forward and thus does not cock the hammer. I bought a used replacement and it started splitting after two matches. I bought a new replacement and it doesn't come close to fitting the barrels. I have ordered another forearm, but in the meantime broke out two new Stoegers that I had in the safe. The forearm looked pretty, but didn't holdup.
