What would something like that cost. Worth putting in 3-400 to end up with a 500$ gun ?I would repair it... but I'm a recovering woodworker.
Hm, why don't you think that?What would something like that cost. Worth putting in 3-400 to end up with a 500$ gun ?
Don’t think it’s as simple as glue and a clamp.
Would that possibly break again? It’s not a big deep gap to pour glue in.Hm, why don't you think that?
Yep! But it could possibly break elsewhere...Would that possibly break again?
You can use a syringe or a precision oiler bottle (new, not used!) to squeeze the glue into tine fissures. Then clamp & loosen a few times to work the glue around in the crack.It’s not a big deep gap to pour glue in.
And you can listen to this while you do!
I may be behind the times, but golly! That seems pretty steep. I got a stock for a Stevens 220A from Brownell's for $75 about 3 years ago.Iver Johnson Hercules SxS Shotgun Replacement Stock
Machine rough inlet walnut replacement stock for Iver Johnson Hercules SxS Shotgun. This is for the wood only no metal parts are included. Item is not finished as it may appear. It has only been rubbed down with mineral spirits to enhance the grain. Grain patterns will also vary from the...cottagecraftworks.com
That seems like a lot of work. Maybe one to part ways and let someone else have the joys of it. But I will take it apart and see what’s in there.stop drill the crack. Open it slightly. Clean out the crack with a good no residue solvent, your choice of nerve damaging agent available from lowes, cheep.
Fill the crack with acraglas, the liquid, not the jel.
reassemble to release agent coated tang and Wrap tight with poly rope, poly string, surgical rubber tubing, etc.
Clean up, glass bed stock to release agent coated tang.
Clean up.
Done, will out last the gun as the repair is stronger than the wood.
Old gluelooks burned
Not really plan on shooting it. Did some work and the guy gave it to me. No sediment value for me. If cheap to fix sure why not. If someone wants it. Sure why not. Just seeing if I put in a few hundred it’s worth more or no matter what I do it’s worth what it isFirst off, I don't know if that is a $500 gun. you can do like some on here said and clean it up, glue and clamp, for extra piece of mind you can drill and dowel it also. The first fix would be about invisible, the second, not so much. Are you planning on shooting it alot???
You can route out a little section under the tang to glass bed which will secure the crack and also make it more secure for future recoil.@NiceOldDouble is who you want to talk to on this gun. NOD, Whatcha think?
