I don’t think it could look any better given the nature of the breaks. Kimber quoted me 475 to replace it and I’d have to send the rifle in, so that option is out. It’s about 3/4 inch long and runs vertically up towards the action. The worst side of the break and the repairs look great. Well I noticed the other day that my recently purchased used Montana has a crack in the stock behind the rear trigger guard screw on one side. Lastly, I used a rubbing compound to knock down the gloss and bring out the satin finishĪfter one box of shells, the finished walnut gunstock is still holding solid. I waited 1-2 days between each application and sanding. Then I sanded it 6 times with 50% tung oil and 50% mineral spirits. To complete the gunstock repair, I sealed the stock with 20% tung oil and 80% mineral spirits. A fine sanding with 400-grit paper completed the stock preparation No amount of cleaning would get the glue to hold. Having said that, the stock was a badly dammaged SXS shotgun, broken in the lock area. Personaly, I have had little luck with yellow glues on old gun stocks. I used dental tools to clean up the checkering and used a furniture stripper on the old polyurethane finish. One issue with older stocks, especialy around an action is that oil can work into the crack an prevent glue from bonding. The repaired walnut gunstock is still raw here but came out looking very good. snap the stock at the wrist, typically around the area where the hand-pin. The mixed epoxy was poured into the raised grain cracks and then lightly clamped If reasonably well cared for, a properly made sporting gun stock will remain. With the gun stock back together, I put a 105 Resin and 205 Hardener packet in warm water before mixing to increase its flow rate. The surface is round, the epoxy is slick, and I used plastic wrap to keep the clamps from adhering to the repaired gunstock. I cleaned up the epoxy that did squeeze out with a paper towel. The 30 minute working time was needed, as aligning some of the splinters in the checkering of the gunstock was difficultĪlthough some of the clamps are big, very little clamping pressure was used to avoid driving too much epoxy out of the joints. I gave all of the surfaces a thick coat of epoxy I mixed some walnut sawdust with a mixture of 105 Resin/205 Hardener and added a little 406 Colloidal Silica filler. Besides the breaks, the grain on the back gunstock had splintered I soaked the broken ends of the walnut gunstock in acetone for about 5 minutes and brushed with a toothbrush a couple of times to remove any gun oil from the wood surface. original and reproduction firearm gun parts winchester stevens crackshot 16 & 26 - winchester rifle parts winchester shotguns remington rifles parts remington shotguns stevens rifle parts browning parts colt parts flobert parts henry parts rossi parts savage parts jimenez bryco jennings parts by category disassembly manuals gift ideas information library mossberg parts gunsmith tools and. ![]()
