Cracked stock- suggestions?

4 posts in this topic

So what should be done about this crack?  Since its at the rear of the receiver I think its going to continue to spread.  The rifle was price accordingly- but I would like to do what I can tp preserve it and shoot it occasionally.

In the event you find you  need a stock, I might want to buy the old one. A friend is putting together a wall display Rifle (never to be shot) from old, non working parts. A cracked stock wouldn't matter. You can e-mail me once you decide what you want to do.   use: edwardrjohnson610@gmail.com

Use regular super glue in the crack.  It will penetrate all way to bottom and will be stronger than the wood.  Also the crack is unlikely to spread because the recoil is through the cross keys, not the bolt stop plate.  You also pin the glued crack with 1/16" brass stock repair screw as used by our military.  They are hard to find but work well.
