    Gun maker

    Just curious if anyone knows this gun maker. I bought it in the Asheville NC area earlier this year. I have ran a ton of rounds through it until the stock broke. I have a post on the repair of that going. Thanks in advance! Jamie

    Merry Christmas to me! Broken stock today at the range.

    After epoxy has dried, we made a pattern and just to cover the break used a leather wrap. This is the final product and I hope it holds up to shoot. Thanks again for all the info!!

    That is almost exactly where the dowel is. I appreciate the advice. I’m ready to shoot it and hope for the best.

    Merry Christmas to me! Broken stock today at the range.

    No I cannot get any more plugs in. It’s too close to a screw hole as it is. I actually went through it on the bottom. The screw runs from the tang to the trigger assembly. I believe at this point it is what it is. I’m gonna do a leather wrap just to add some safety measure in case it splits...

    Merry Christmas to me! Broken stock today at the range.

    This was what it looked like after all the clamp and tape came off. I also decided it would be a good time to lighten up the stock. I can’t believe someone would cover up the fire in this curly maple as much as they did. I figure it was only to hide the grain to get it out the door and let the...

    That’s really close to where my dowel went in today.

    Merry Christmas to me! Broken stock today at the range.

    Here is the progress so far. I have learned that a metal rod will not be the best bet. Unfortunately a 10/32 screw goes through where the dowel will be. Apparently that is all that was holding it together before. I’ll have to use a wooden dowel and drill through part of it. I plan on a leather...

    Merry Christmas to me! Broken stock today at the range.

    Wow what a reply. I believe this is the best route I have seen so far. I’m a metal guy not a wood guy so the pin all the way through seems to be the strongest. Honestly the gun isn’t a work of art or anything spectacular of a build so I’m not so worried about a small amount of brass showing. I...

    We have some medical silicone. It creates a very tight pull that a clamp could never get.

    Merry Christmas to me! Broken stock today at the range.

    I had wondered if a long screw or a dowel would be best. I feel like epoxy won’t be enough alone.

    Well it’s been cracked for quite a while according to the color.

    I love this! If the outside crack doesn’t hide well I will totally do this!

    Merry Christmas to me! Broken stock today at the range.

    Today at the range I had a minor mishap that lead to a major problem. I was breaking down to clean, and as it happens to us all, knocked my rifle over. The fall was on soft ground but not soft enough. It has developed a crack on both sides of the wrist area. It does not seem to go all the way...
