snowz Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 unlucky m8, dont worry tho i have seen people repair worse breaks than that, you could pin it and glue it quite easily and then find another stock when you like no need to rush out to buy one then. atb Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet boy Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 It's not the end of the world mate.There are some nice secondhand Rapid stocks out there for sale.As long as the action or scope isn't damaged!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 If you decide to glue it yourself, get some Cascamite (sp) glue. You mix it with water, and it seeps into the grain of the wood. When dry, it's very strong, stronger than the wood itself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb1 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I had the same break on my air arms, as mentioned above cascamite and a brass wood screw counter sunk in the pistol grip and is good as new, to be honest you'd be hard pressed now to even tell there was a break, and It's now ten years since I repaired it. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrie Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hiya, Just a wee update,. Firstly, I have to thank all you guys who replied to my posts...It's very much appreciated, and the kind offers of doing the job for me.. Now,I have decided to attempt the repair job myself, for two reasons...Firstly,.I've had a quickfill made for me by an engineer, ( you'll see pics soon) and the stock will have to be drilled to allow access to the quick fill "thingy"...so, I dont want to mess around measuring and drilling a new stock... Secondly, I really think I can do the repair... SO, I may be absent from here tomorrow,sorry guys... :blink: as I have all the gear to hand to start the job... I'll report back to you as soon as it's all finished.. I think an oil finish on the stock would do me...mainly because I've got a bottle of Nickersons Walnut oil here...

Photoguy2910 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) Norrie, when you mix the glue, do not use anything metal... mix it in a plastic bowl and use a piece of wood to mix it. Can't remember why but that what we always did when I was a joiner, sure it was one of the old joiners that told us that. Also, remember to wipe off any of the glue that seeps out before it goes hard. And I would have used a brass screw instead of the tiebar you have there, Edited November 28, 2010 by Photoguy2910 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
