Yep JB I should have made it clear its in the gun safe for a couple weeks, I was going to hit the whole thing again then give it another two weeks. I figured after a month it should be good to...

Well three hand rubbing sessions of RLO later and this one is ready for test firing. The Forewood fit right back up nicely. No gap at the wrist face, or at least my .005 gauge never slipped in...

Well wife busted me with her stand Oil and it got repossessed. So the art store had one bottle of cold pressed Linseed Oil left. I cut it 50 50 with pure pin gum turpentine. We will see how this...

4 pegs total, two on each side. one peg on each end of the crack.400974009840099

All pegs are glued in and stain is on. Letting it sit a day or to than the finish can go on. Hopefully the pegs will blend a little more with oil. 4009540096

Thanks for the link.

Pegging the left side close to the back will be the no room for error challenge. Once I get the dowel and look it over I'll know a tad bit more on how to exactly proceed. The right side and front...

Both sides glued up. Acetone used to remove the Waxilit for now. I had to order hard maple dowels as the local shop only had stuff that was too big in diameter. Once it is in I'll vertical drill...

LOL JB yes I learned it from my cabinet shop friend. He's not a gun guy so sometimes he just shakes his head back and forth at me but he always gives good advice.

Right side crack was spread after Waxilit applied. Tite Bond III was then worked into the crack with a business card. I keep scissors handy and keep cutting away the card as it gets soft from glue...

Prior to gluing I carefully outline the crack with Waxilit. I use a q tip and toothpick to apply the wax. One must be careful not to get any Waxilit where you want the glue to stick. When the glue...

Only joining milsurps recently I have no knowledge of that and am sorry there was that kind of drama. The cold pressed Linseed oil, refined Linseed oil, BLO debate will go on. My use of stand Oil...

Stand Oil is what I happen to have, the peer pressure comment was apparently a failed attempt at humor. I know it's not the same as the original Raw Linseed Oil. However it is close enough for me...

Out of the acetone. Now to let is air dry a couple days.4002440025

Nice story. I like your idea so I'll mark the inside of the stock in a few places, and do the same to my others I've fixed. I have not sold any, probably won't for years. Kids are interested in...

Thanks for the input. This dowel is actually Oak, there is a local cabinet repair guy I got it from. He also has hard maple, just didn't ask. Your pin hole method or hiding brass wire screw under...

Thanks JB, which hardwood dowel do you suggest. Oak is just any easy hardwood to find here. White Pine being the other one, but not a hard wood. (EDIT: I FOUND A LOCAL SOURE FOR HARDWOOD MAPLE...

First I need to get the oil off so glue will stick. I plan to immerse it in acetone for one hour. Pull it and let it air dry for a couple days. Spread left crack and work Tite Bond III into it,...

So just starting a running thread on the subject of a Lithgow Coachwood stock I need to fix. I plan to update the thread as I go step by step. I claim no expert status just like to work on my own...
