Hello all, was wondering if you all think this baby can be fixed or is she fire wood?

I've done re-tips on several '59 Grizzlys and seen stress cracks as bad or worse and they all still shoot just fine. Get some Loc-Tite in the stress cracks and some Phenolic or glass scraps for the tips. An easy fix.

Thanks, it gives me peace of mind knowing she can be fixed.

Don't let that one go in the heap!  I don't know the weight, but she just may have a few more deer left in her...that's one that is meant to be used, and it should be a fine shooter.

If you dont think you can do this the Doc sure can bring her back to life. Take my word for it.
