I hope this post is in the right place. This repair could be used on any wood stock so here goes. I never intended on posting these pictures. I only took them with my cell phone in order to show my friend how his stock was fixed, if in fact it stayed that way! First let me say that the rifle is a Model 1899 Savage from the early 1900's. It is a 30-30 with an octagonal barrel. The stock was split all to he!! and worthless. My friend was asking me if I knew where to get a replacement butt stock for it. I asked him if he would let me play with it as he had nothing to lose. What had happened to the stock was the previous owner shot it with a very loose stock bolt and it split in three places and broke / chipped out the tang area. I did not take a picture before I took it apart (should have) but the damage will be apparent. The first step was to clean the old oil / grease and years of gunk. Purple power to the rescue! Then two trips through the dishwasher (hi-heat, pots and pans and no heated dry cycle) ;-)
The next step was to see just how bad the cracks were.
