Stock repair items needed

[painter777]

I have a number of stocks here needing some splits and cracks repaired.
Can anyone tell me where threaded brass pins or similiar ones may be available?
Something I could just slightly countersink would be best.
Might Brownells carry these?

One of these stocks is a very nicely stamped boxed SG and CC, but when they installed a brass pin thru the lower front bridge it actually spread the crack.

A few other stocks look like driftwood with mostly weathered checked splits, from being left outside. These are worth trying to make sound as most have very nice markings.

Also have some really nice handguards that have 1 rivet pulled.
Can rivets be found?

I Appreciate Your Time,
Regards

Depending on how bad the cracks are(and where they are), epoxy and a clamp will fix 'em. No ugly screws required.

Good luck with your 'pins' Charlie. Let me know how you do.

The Military used them with great success and if done properly they are stronger than glue and barely noticeable.

You have become the carbine stock guru and this seems like your next venture in learning.

Charlie, I buy brass rods then thread them myself. I can cut to any length or use any diameter that I want that way.

Brownells sells that clear acrylic glue, pretty much made for stocks, had excellent results on a trench gun stock.It flowed down in there nice I clamped it ,wiped the spillage and it was good to go the crack pretty much disappeared. I will find the bottle and get the name.

I've been using a 2 part clear epoxy glue one of the 'Wood Chucks' (carpenters) set me up with. Don't know the name of it. Found out the hard way that it works great, because the 'Chucks' had glued my varnish cans to the floor. When I grabbed the handle....the bottom ripped out, spilling all over the sub-floor. It gives me plenty of working time before it starts to set. It bonds so tight that the wood will break apart somewhere other than the repaired spot. I use a hypodermic and shoot it into the hairline cracks. I clean the needle out by rinsing it out with MEK. But it can't be stained over. I have to color the stock first, then glue. I've been experimenting with it by adding color to the glue first.
I have a small pile of stocks here that need to be pinned. Before I'd consider them to be safe enough for shooting.

Also have a couple really nice IBM,Stan Pro and NPM handguards that have 1 rivet pulled.
Any tips on Rivets out there........

Thanks...
