Well, todays not a good day, Took 405 out of the cabinet and noticed the stock is split at the tang, top and bottom... wtf? Something like this a simple fix? Numerich has replacements available but they are kinda pricy. I will try to post a pic.

If you are talking about a 95 Winchester I believe I have a new blank. I don't know what kind of PITA shipping to Canada would be though.

I'm going to try the acraglass fix. If that doesn't work then I will look into a replacement. It's a miroku winchester 1895 in .405 win. I noticed on Numerich website there was a stock for the 1895 and another one for the 1895 in 405? The 405 cal rifles must be just a bit different? The rifle has only been fired about 20 times, (and never in a lead sled).

. You can sweat epoxy into a crack with heat, similar to how a plumber sweats a copper pipe joint. Use a hair dryer or heat gun for heat. Heat lowers the viscosity of the epoxy so it will flow into tiny cracks.
If possible get the work area, the gun and the epoxy all warmed up before starting work.

Well, it appears that acraglass is not really very available up here north of the border, so I just dropped rifle off with the gunsmith, he will fix it up proper. It would be a shame if I made a mess of a new rifle.

Elmer wood glue and dental floss. Put the glue on the crack and use the floss or saw/work the glue into the crack of you have the room to use this method. Brass screws have been used for stock repairs. Put glue in the crack and then use the screws to pull the crack closed. Cut off the screw head flush with the wood surface. There is a Canadian seller on GB that has replacement stocks.
Good luck.

Looks like you broke that over something's head!
Maybe, there's a story to go with that?

You can try all the methods of stock repair you want,but the Crack will be there and you will always wonder if it will hold for the next shot. Best to just stuck up and find a good hunk of wood and fund someone who knows what they are doing and get a proper stock back on it.

Seems a smidgen harsh, modern glues and a large diameter core pin and it will be fine.

Yes it is but you gt the satisfaction of a custom stock and an improvement to a firearm that can continue to give years of service and be passed on to someone who will be proud to have special part of it's former owner

All I did was break it open after a course of fire and you see the results. The guy that repaired it is a master at doing so. I've heard most of his stock repair business is on very high end shotguns that were dropped or otherwise damaged by their owners at competition shoots. This repair is great. Can barely make out the break only under the right lighting conditions. Super strong with the double reinforced fiber rods. I'm very confident it'll outlast me! Stock repair

Nope, it's a Francotte. I have it's identical little brother in 30-40 Krag. Only it's stock is perfect! (I had it checked......)

Update: Got a phone call last week that the rifle was ready for pickup, and just got to Regina today to get it. It looks amazing, the gunsmith had to refinish after repairing and it honestly looks like there was a wood upgrade, plus you absolutely can not tell where the cracks were!
Excellent work TnT Gunworks!

I'm glad to hear you got your stock repaired in a timely manner. I've had a Citori at the Browning repair shop for 6 months now. I'm not sure at this point if I'll ever see the shotgun again. I'll probably just buy another gun this fall if it doesn't show up.
