Anyone restore or know of a person that restores wood stocks?

[Greg Blackburn]

So I have an early TC kit rifle but the stock has seen better days. It has some annoying chips knocked out of it. Anyone here or do you know of anyone that can repair this and refinish the wood without the buttplate sticking out?

Pictures would help for a better evaluation.

Sounds like a chip out of the toe, easy to fix, glue in some wood and add a toeplate to cover it up. My TC kit chipped out the same way, here is my fix;

That's a nice repair job.

I might can get pics in a week or so.

"the buttplate sticking out" sure sounds like the stock's been over sanded at least once - which would also require grinding/polishing the BP to match..

I like the fix.

To prevent the buttplate from ‘sticking out’ you need to do any sanding with it attached.

File and smooth from the metal to the wood only. Not from the wood to the metal.

Greg,
Not sure where you are located, but you need to find someone local to you.
The labor and shipping costs would be well over what the gun is worth in many cases.

I am pretty sure I discarded the glued on piece shown in the above picture because the grain wasn't running in the right direction, I replaced it with a piece that blended in better.

Good work Eric.
That buttplate looks a good beefy one!
