My 91/30 stock split the other day at the range. Can I repair this easily or should I replace the stock? Its nothing rare, just a 1943 Itzhevsk round receiver.

Personally I would pull the recoil lug, fill the crack with wood glue and clamp until dry. Then just keep an eye on it.

The question is whether or not you can get clear epoxy glue throughout the length and breadth of the crack.
In some cases, I have had to "finish" the cracking process to the point where the piece(s) of wood completely detached from the rest of the stock. You also have to practice clamping the thing ahead of time so as to make sure you have the right clamps at the right places, and that they will do their job properly. You will also need some solvent for any epoxy that squeezes out of the repair, and some certainly will. All this said, if you do it right, the repair will be almost invisible, and in a dark wood with some figure to it, maybe completely so. |

I think I will try to repair this one because I like a little challenge, but if it doesn't work I may hit you up.

Don't forget to post pics, and a 'how to', and a range report, and pics of the range report...

Tagged for results of repair. My m44 has a hairline crack at the wrist I missed when it was first delivered. I've been debating whether to replace it or try to repair it.

Depending on circumstances, and as an experienced repairer, there are times when buying a replacement stock is the best thing to do. Keep the old one and experiment on that.
Don't want to come across as a snob, but repairing wooden stocks takes some experience, and I would NOT try to repair a valuable/collectible stock on my first attempt. |

That's a postwar refurb replacement stock anyway. I'd replace it, and use shims to make sure the replacement is bedded correctly before shooting.

Maybe run a brass screw or two down through the top in front of the recoil lug and trim off as well. This, but with stainless steel screws. Pre drill the holes and counter sink the heads. I do gun stocks on the side. Easy fix, but if you want to swap it, Aim Surplus has mosin stocks fairly cheap. |
