roscoedoh Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Can you post a picture of the crack? There's several ways to repair a cracked stock, but we'll need to know where its cracked to tell you how best to proceed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbum Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 find reason for crack and correct if possible, e.g., relieve wood around tang, open crack insert adhesive (narrow cracks use goos fresh cyanoacrylate, wider cracks get good epoxy) clamp shut wipe off all extra adhesive let cure twice as long as directions say drill hole(s) perpendicular to crack insert epoxy put epoxy on brass machine screw install screw, leaving 1/2' between head of screw and wood wipe up all extra epoxy let cure twice as long cut off and carefully file you are done properly applied epoxy or acraglas or wood glue is as strong or stronger than wood. a properly repaired crack will stay repaired. military arsenals use brass pins. I have pinned a few stocks, three I can think of, all have stayed repaired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spector Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 AcraGlas is a fine product that will repair cracked stocks if you can get into the crack. Don't opt for cheap epoxies that you may find in hardware stores. Get the Brownell's AcraGlas. It is worth the extra trouble. They even make stains to color it to match yor stock...........Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
