Acraglas will fill the crack temporarily, but over time, the wood will still flex and crack through the finish. I can help you as I have paid the learning costs. Any repair specialists out there? :?: Thanks, Art Any suggestions? Any help is much appreciated. I have this basic plan of repair, as I don`t believe that I can find an original replacement wood set. I also have some oil to rejuvinate wood, but know that epoxy will not stick to wood with oil on it or in it. I have masking tape to put on each side of the crack, before I try to fill it with epoxy. I have some acraglass, and was told by Brownells that acrylic paint tint could be used to color acraglass, so I got some raw umber and red oxide to mix togeather to form a redish brown tint for the epoxy.

The finish around the outside of the crack is original and almost perfect. There is maybe a 1/64' gap at the end of the crack, and I think it was caused simply by the wood drying out. The forearm wood is thick, and cannot be squeezed back togeather.

The forearm is cracked in the front end about 3' long. My wife bought me an apparently rare model 91 Winchester 12ga. Acraglas is a wonderful product and if your stock damage was open/straight enough, you could work it into the crack with thread or dental floss - doesn't look like an option for you. Remove any 'wedge' and clamp immediately with soft jaw clamps. If you can spread the crack as Chuck suggested, again, more's the better. Before you use that method, and since the crack goes clean thru into the barrel channel, when you get your super glue, measure the tapered nozzle, select a drill bit that will allow a tight seal on the nozzle and drill a couple of shallow holes, (deep enought to reach the crack), from inside the channel into the major area of the crack, then, again, from the barrel channel, press the nozzle of the the super glue tightly into the drilled holes and squeeze the bottle, forcing glue to spread into the crack - if a little runs out the outside of the crack, more's the better. If you select a glue with a high flow rate, capillary action alone will draw 'some' glue into the crack. Peter's method provides a good final finish and should be used for final finish.

I've sold that rifle few years ago and the crack never reappeared, even thought that rifle had more than 3500 full loads 500gr/2680-2720fps. 460 Weatherby Mk5 in 1982 when the stock splited after about 60 rounds. I used exactly the above mentioned technique on my very first rifle a.

A professional quality job's done in a mater of few minutes.Īir or an Aceton is not needed. It will finnish the stock like you've never seen before. As it has the same wood filling you won't even recognised it was ever there. Don't be scared to rub/sand with sandpaper. Blow over it with your mouth and repeate several times until the crack is fully filled and finnish. By one or two tube (2ml) of the cheapest Chinese made Super glue with a nozzle, the runnier the better (Cyoanoacrylate) and one or two sheets of 400- 600 grit sandpaper.Ĭut/tear the sandpaper into 35x35mm pieces.Īpply a very tiny amount of the Super glue with the tiny nozzle as deep as possible and immediately sand over the stock crack to create a fine sawdust to stick into the Super glue.
