I recently picked up a 520-30 trench gun for a good deal. Other than a little bit of bubba, everything is correct for a trench and the serial numbers match. Even the stock that has a couple cracks running through the grip starting a at the receiver. Now I will never part with this and I want to shoot it, does anybody have a recommendation for a good Smith for doing minimally noticable stock repairs for something like this? Thanks guys!

Drill it and glue in brass rods like the Brits used to do with their rifles?

I don't know if that's the way the Brits did it, but I would guess they did it more like we did...use brass screws, then the shaft was cut even with the wood, getting rid of the head...it looks like brass pins, but they are screwed...

Yeah, I should have put down it was a threaded then cut down rod, my fault. I thought I had read that could also be glued in place as the rod was installed.

Brownells acraglas and threaded brass pins.

I've done several stocks this way.

I like to drill a small hole from inside the action area to intersect a crack. I then use a syringe to inject the epoxy into the cracks and wrap a inner tube around it all to clamp it. After its cured, run some pins across the cracks and file down smooth.

YMMV

Did they crack from being loose? I just repaired a stock with some wood superglue  just to keep the crack tight since the loose fit to the receiver was corrected.

Hory Sheet, $76 for 4 oz. Must be good.

It's $14 for 4 oz from Lee Valley or Highland. You're looking at those resale scalpers on Amazon that can charge whatever they want.

As an alternative maybe buy a new cheap stock for shooting and keep the historical one for display?

Holy crap, didn't realize the thread was still going this strong. This was one option I was considering. I will check the serial number when I'm home.
