triumphant59 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Depending on just where the break is it could probably be glued, can't remember his name but there used to be a guy on pw that offered such a service. Other option is to claim on your house insurance and get it written off and buy another gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobba Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Give Nigel Teague a ring. He's only 30-40 mins away from you up the M5. A friend seriously damaged an AYA stock (insured) some time back and Nigel sorted it out. He really is a great chap and well worth the drive to meet him. HTH.

Gunman Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Chances are you will not find a stock that will fit as the guns are essentially hand stocked and finished . AyA do not supply pre machined stocks , I know as I have asked and I know the guys at ASI well . It will have to be restocked . Nigel Teague dose not do stocking but I will PM you with a suggestion .

jonny thomas Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Carpenter friend of mine came around for a visit this morning stroke of luck And said " how can someone like you who cane make wonderful things from piles of rubbish be so scared of sticking two bloody bits of wood together " Gave me some magic glue and we set about preping gluing and clamping All left alone now in the garage with strict don't touch instructions He recons its more likely to fail elsewere than the repair site well nothing to lose so I'll just see what happens Oh thanks for all the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salopian Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Modern adhesives have come a long way since we used to use melted horses hooves. Using a modern epoxy and thoroughly cleaning the joint before hand , a strong joint can be created. Looking at your gun , it would assist the strength if you invisibly pinned it also.

jonny thomas Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yeah I think you're right I'm going to see if I can run a pin down through the stock and brace the action with it Took the clamps off (against orders) a minute ago and I can't force it apart Neither can my 20 year old son (rugby player ex national level swimmer) so I'm guessing we've got a sound repair Now I've just got to make it look like nothing ever happened The hard bit I'm thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtaylor Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Your best bet is probably to strip the finish off back to bare wood. Clean the squeeze out off from the break. If there are any small gaps in the joint you could fill them by using a small amount of ordinary wood glue then a fine sandpaper with the glue still wet, the wood dust will act like a filler (midway USA on youtube have a video of filling pin hole knots). Then either lightly stain the wood if you want it dark or just apply a oil finish. Plenty on here about refinishing stocks if you haven't done it before. I would say to do the forend at the same time as you won't get the colour to match. What glue did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny thomas Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Don't really know what glue it is apparently special magic carpenters glue my mate gave me I'm guessing its similar to gorrila glue looking at the run out I've watched the videos and am plodding on the ironic thing is I just ordered some perma blue to do the barrels So a little tidy up has turned into a big re furb in 1 bang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would welcome clarification on your Nigel Teague statement. I shoot regularly with the man who took his AYA stock to Nigel Teague to be rebuilt. Perhaps Nigel Teague may not personally have done the work. But it is an indisputable fact that it went in to his workshop damaged and came out A1.

TaxiDriver Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Where can you buy cascamite from ? Have been looking for ages but not for sale in your typical chain store diy outlet ? Edit : Just found it readily available via Amazon.

jonny thomas Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Only used pva as a filler not on the repair I would guess I'd make a better fist of a big suspension rebuild on a top end motor car but then I should do it is my game Just saying like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Super glue and saw dust makes the best filler. Keep it up she'll look ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
