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 stuff. I'll post the plan and if you have a better idea let me know I have thick skin.

Back story 1941 Lithgow rebuilt in 1945 and given a new barrel. Stock and hadguard appear to match in wear but forwood looks much less abused. The forward had a crack on right side that had been fixed with two brass pins (IMO this fix is non military). This is a rifle I shoot and the last session it cracked on the left side along the wood grain. I need to fix the left crack and I want to improve the fix on the right side. All without screwing up my fit on the gun as it was shooting well. Pics below, on post two I'all post my current plan. IMG_1498.jpgIMG_1499.jpgIMG_1500.jpg
