I thought about making a new thread but I'll try this first:
My repair has already broken and I realized why, the "recoil bridge" is rotten and the action is hitting against the spot I repaired when the rifle recoils.
my plan is to get some hard wood scraps and fashion some replacement blocks, has anyone done this before?
I have heard that if you don't fit them right, you can cause your stock to crack in other areas. I haven't found any very good advice or a guide on how to do this during my searches so I would appreciate any advice from the stock GURUS.
I am also going to have to drill those toothpicks back out and totally redo that repair I did previously because it's hardly holding on right now.
About 20 rounds of HXP surplus did the damage, that's all I've shot it since I repaired it.
Thanks for any help!
I guess I should have scrolled down before making a crack fill suggestion use your basic same procedures but start with getting a flat surface razor knife something like that the flatter the better you'll have a better glue bond id use regular tight bond wood glue it will wick into the wood some get your replacement piece some what shaped dremil tool or sand paper id glue the piece of wood used on first when its dried then drill and glue dowels in making sure you get glue down in the hole your choice finish sand and color
