M1A1 Stock Repair

[frankderrico]

Hi Painter and BAR, I got a call from our friend Bill Moore in Fla. who had a friend in Cal. who had set up a table at a show. It was at the end of the show, and he was taking down his display when it fell and broke. The back end came to me in four pieces, the big one with the circle P and three small ones that I glued separately and then finally all the pieces back together and in the clamps. The bolt holes then needed to be cleaned out because the glue had run into them. Lining up before the glue set was tricky. It's done and ready to be displayed again. When it was done and put back together, I did feel very accomplished with it. The Carbine is one of the first M1A1's that Inland made. Well worth the effort!
