![]() If all looks good, put the gun back together and go hunting. Keep that vinegar away from the metal - it will remove the bluing! After the glass sets up (about 12-24 hours) remove the stock and assess the repair. Wipe any of the Acraglas that extrudes to the outside off the stock with vinegar. You are, in effect, glass bedding the receiver to the stock. Snug up the stock bolt tightly enough to make sure that there is excellent contact with the receiver. #Stock crack repair crack#Use a surgical rubber tube (drug store) to wrap the wrist of the stock with, clamping the crack shut. A thin coat here is OK because you are next going to put the stock back onto the receiver. Use enough to spread a little around the opening to the crack also. Start at the action end with the Acraglas in the raw inletting, forcing as much as you can get into the crack. That includes the stock bolt and any screws or pins that could get Acraglas on them. When you buy the Acraglas kit, you will get some "release agent." Coat the metal thoroughly with the release agent. ![]() The Acraglas is not so runny as to be a problem with controlling where it goes. Otherwise you could glue the gun to the wood.

It sounds like it may be a "hairline" crack.This is usually a natural stress in the grain structure. Thanks for any help you guys can provide! I think a recoil pad would help by adding length, thereby dropping by cheek back further and downward. ![]() So my question is, can I simply remove the stock, squirt some wood glue in the crack, and clamp it back together? It seems easy enough but surely some of you have tried this and have some words of wisdom here.Īs a follow-up question, what is involved is adjusting the stock to fit me a little better? I always had a problem with the comb (I think that's the right term) because when I shoulder it, it is almost always aiming high. I understand this was not uncommon on this gun, but I would really like to fix it and get it back out to play with it (great lightweight gun). ![]() The crack starts right behind the trigger guard and is about one inch long and fairly thin. ![]() A couple of years ago I noticed that there was a small crack in the stock.
