Sterlingworth Stock Needs Help!

Post by JasonR »

Disassembling my new 12 Gauge Sterlingworth Pin Gun, looks like the stock has seen better days. As you can see, a fix has been attempted in the past, however, that fix didn't hold, there's a split running front to back which runs the full depth of the wood, ending roughly where the round dowel from the previous fix is located. Additionally, it looks like there's a fair amount of missing wood that would typically tie both sides of the stock together. Is this fixable by adding in new wood, acraglass and threaded rod or should I start looking for a replacement stock? Looking for advice from the experts, thanks!

Only way to save that stock would be to hollow out the whole thing to back of the rear screw hole, epoxy in new wood and completely re-inlet the frame.
