Well I had to laugh...
« on: September 02, 2009, 07:50:12 PM »
After the shock subsided...

Was sitting on me deck plinking away at a
bake bean tin on the lawn with a .177
Stirling...with no signs of the pending doom
lurking just around the corner...
So there I was  bake bean can lined up in the site
gentle pull on the trigger...bang.....
Wheres the gun gone ? it was no longer in my grip
but laying on the deck in TWO bits....

Yer two bits..!!!.....The stock had snapped in two
though the hand grip bit...
the thing is theres no sign of a old crack slowly
weaking over time..just a nice new clean brake...
it has very short grain in that part of the stock..

 will post a pic when me cam fineds its way home..

Ps,,for sale  kit set air gun..cheap

LOL...It done it all by its self....
Guess I can have a go at my first
wooden stock.....
What a botch up that would/will be....

Maybe a form/glass  or balsa/glass
composite would be easyer....

I have repaired stocks that looked like that what I've done is to epoxy it back together clamping it and trying to get the pieces back together fitting them tight do not cut anything , after you have the stock re glued  you need to go inside the stock where the action is and at the back end drill a 1/2 inch or a 3/4 inch hole through the stock into the pistol grip not all the way through  unless you want to put a cap on the end then epoxy a dowel in ant refinish the stock it will be a good repair and it will be reinforced too. I hope this will help howie  PS short grain is always a problem as far as being strong .

I guess airgunners are like golfers......when we miss often, we fling the weapon of choice 10 to 20 yards away out of frustration.  heh heh   Guess you'll have to make a new stock or buy a new one.
