This is what you get with pins, glue and screws.



Now doesn't it look beter when fixed the right way?




Here is a Savage stock. You never know what you will find under an old cheap ugly finish.




Even a Bubba job can be saved.

Here are some more.
This is a Ruger M77 stock that had been covered in cammo tape.


Now it has a nice BLO finish with a Paste wax top coat.


Here is a 2A forestock that had wood putty filling a crack. The other side of the stock was the same.


Here is the crack after it was cleaned up.


And here it is all fixed up.

Some recent work by CandyMan on a M1916 Spanish .308 Mauser. He repaired the cleaning rod channel, recoil lug area, and rear sling swivel amongst other things. Back in commission now!

submarine al Here are a few before pic's of your stock.
If I remember right, I made 6 repairs to the stock and one to the handguard.
It looks great back together.

I saw that FN49 stock in person and I have to say it looked so much better in person than in the pics. I'm can't wait to see how my muzzleloader stock turns out after it get worked over by the master.

Wow everything looks fantastic, what would you use other than glue, screws, or pins to hold some of those cracked ones together. Seems like it would have to be at least some sort of glue?

Accraglass or however you spell it.

Brownell's does spell it a little funny. Acraglas. You can alco use Devcon 2 Ton Epoxy with the 30 min. set time.

You can see how most of the repairs are done in the reference sticky section. viewforum.php?f=137

Looks really good

As one of candyman's "victims", I can tell you he does very top notch work. He fixed a butt stock for a ol Remington shotgun for me, and did it all so well, you couldn't even tell it was cracked to begin with, not to mention the new toe he spliced in on it too. The gun is well over 100yrs old, and it will go well over another 100yrs, thanks to candyman.

I have quite a bit of woodworking experience, but he just seems to come up with new ways of fixing things I'd put in the scrape a long time ago, simply amazing work
