I have a very pretty original ADL Classic stock in its semi gloss finish and a replacement Boyds Walnut both with slight(ish) crack along side the magazine where I screwed up and allowed the follower spring to cause this known issue- TWICE. (Feeling VERY stupid) I would love to sell to a good home at a price that would make someone happy- BUT I want to make sure the idea of doing that is both ethical on my part as well as worthwhile for any buyer? I am sure these can be epoxied and put to use. I have shot the Boyds a few times after discovering the crack and it was accurate as heck and showed no sign of worsening. I knew what happened after finding the actions screws needed tightening.

These were only used on a 6mm rem, both used on the same rifle and want it known they were beeded to it.

I decided to get an HS Precision and have these two laying around now. These are short action stocks and I hate to think of just tossing them when they might still find use and a home.

Any thoughts?

I've repaired a couple over the years, they haven't come apart yet.

Photos?

Pics please.

ok, here you are.

Close up of crack - In person I have a VERY hard time seeing it too. Look very close for the hairline where the wood just turns under, about an inch above and forward of the trigger cut out.

Factory ADL


its crack, think a smith already epxied it but can't swear.


Other than the cracks both are in great cosmetic shape and still shoot stellar, thought I stopped shooting them after VERY few (single digit) rounds. No gouges, chips pr scratches to speak of.
