Four Military Surplus Rifle Stock Repairs
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ก.ค. 2024
- Here are four military surplus rifles that all have one thing in common, they all have repaired stocks. To be specific, whole replacement sections have been grafted on to existing stocks. This was done either to fix a broken stock, or to restore a cut down, or sporterized, stock back to it's original configuration. Two repairs were done on the front end of the stocks and two on the rear. Though repair techniques differ on each stock, the common theme is to create as large as a surface area for the glue as possible. This increases the joint's strength, and thus it's longevity. The oldest of these repairs was done in 2010, the newest in 2021, but all have held up perfectly fine over the years.

Compared to what I've seen others try, these are some impressive repairs.
Fantastic video. Just what I was looking for. I have a Czech mauser 98/22 with a walnut strock broken off in exactly the same place as the first rifle you showed and I just bought a piece of Walnut yesterday to repair it. I've been debating how to try and achieve this thinking I wont have the skills to try the kind of intersecting fingers like the Finns used on their Mosin stocks. Seeing what you did gives me the solution I need. Thanks.
I really like your videos. They are very informative and educational. With very good easy to understand expectations of your craft thank you! I really appreciate it!!!
It's good that you have restored these classics back into shooting condition with new stocks. They live again! Thanks for sharing!
Ive really been enjoying your videos. Watching someone on youtube who knows not only what they are talking about, but know what they are doing is really cool to see. Pretty rare these days. Great stuff!
Good morning!
Awesome vid ! I kow Mark Novak goes about putting rods in the stock and using acraglass to hold and strengthen the stock
That is what I have always done as well. Ideally with brass threaded rod but I have used steel before.
Lovely. 👍
GREAT job Rakum !!
Really nice job on all of these!
Doing God's work mate, saving those old mil specs is a worthy endeavour.
Very good job with the blending. I just got done adding a new piece to a broken 10ga shotgun stock. It works great but it is very obvious that it is replaced.
I gotta say Sir, you do fine work. I wish u could fibercate a 1916 Spanish mauser upper handguard. I'm using an upper handguard taken off by a Spanish 1893 Spanish mauser that we are getting into shape.
Ser Gut Mein Herr.
Hopefully the front 2/3 of the SMLE stock I used to un sporterise a rifle that subsequently broke due to being poorly fitted got used for this purpose
Slowly getting better at this myself. Used a bit of a Krag stock I'd repaired to fix a Belgiam 1935. Old wood does match better.
Do you have a video on your Kar 88 fore-end repair? I'd like to do pretty much the same repair to a gun that I have.
I don't have a video of actually doing the repair. The technique is similar to how I fix duffle cuts (which I have a video on), only exception is that the original stock was shaped as the tenon instead of a separate piece.
These rifles look awesome! I think you should leave all of them as-is mainly because they look field repairs. I have a Gewehr 88/05 with a field repair stock. They didn’t even use walnut for the repair. The rifle also has bayonet slash marks along the mid section of it by the repair. Again your repairs look awesome, keep up the great work!
I need a Kar 88 volt assembly, any idea? Will a regular g88 bolt fit?
Yes, they'll interchange just fine. Might look a little odd with the straight bolt handle though
Nice videos, sir. And? You need to speak in other than a monotone. You sound like AI narrated this?
Add some vocal emphasis here and there to your excellent narrative.
