Claven2,

The area that needs repair is under the forearm alongside the cleaning rod slot.
The bigger crack on the left can be spread open a bit for getting glue in there but the crack on the right is pretty tight.




Along with the crack is a damaged area around the point of impact.




The lesser of the two cracks also has a depressed area on the other side of the cleaning rod slot.




I’m not trying to make things look perfect but as good as possible without the obvious look of restoration.
More than anything, this rifle has become a learning tool and I've enjoyed learning the proper repair techniques.


I re-stripped the butt-stock but there appears to be little improvement on the stubborn stains. I think I can live with it. It’s all a part of where it’s been.

Hey Patrick,
How about we proceed with finishing the buttstock
