Nice Work!

It's good to see you wife wants to give it a place of honor.

Well done!!

It was not meant to be. A misstep on my part and it fell over to the floor.
I'm at a loss for words...

Had a 22 stock break like that, epoxy and tape till set, so far so good. I'm sorry that happened.

OH NOOOOOOOO!!!!

You can repair that. Pins and epoxy....and always a story to tell.

I'd run a long brass screw or pin from the tang inlet down and the trigger inlet up. Use epoxy. You may have to refinish the area of the break but that's all. It can be saved.

Would you epoxy the break first (letting it cure) then do your drilling/pinning?

 

[reddogge]

No, you want the hole in the entry part as big as the threads and smaller below the break so the screw tightens up the crack. I'd epoxy the crack and then put the screws in to pull it tight. You may have to devise a clamp to hold it while drilling and screwing. Brownells used to sell these long brass screws for this purpose.

Sexy!

Well executed, my good man.

Yes, that makes sense. Hope the OP makes it happen
