    Picked up an Inland stock at a show today with a cracked stock

    The stock is actually in very nice shape except for a long crack on the bottom. There is no missing wood. What do you guys use to glue fine cracks? I've got gorilla glue that I don't care for, hide glue and super glue. What would you recommend?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    A crack in that area is usually very hard to conceal. If the crack extends back into the area of the bridge, or where it was removed, you can pin it together there and add strength to prevent the crack from opening when twisted. There are other fixes, such as fiberglass mat in the channel. These are to add strength…..the crack will likely always remain visible.

    The crack is so small that it is nearly invisible. That is not a problem. I have threaded brass rod for reinforcing the bridge; again, not a problem. I asked about glue only! I know how to do the rest.

    Superglue sucks. Tried it many times.
    It's good for fixing finish blems on guitars.
