C96 Stock repair ?

unitedcs · 08-06-2017, 10:16 AM

Thanks Alvin, my photo abilities are in desperate need of improvement. I see an iphone in my future. Both pictures are of the tail end, just a black hole on the screw head side. I've thought about another option that may not be righteous to any future owner if I'm not around to explain. But since the stock is functional but only loose on the screw head side, I'm inclined to epoxy it, lop of a correct screw head and epoxy that into the hole. Out of sight, strong and functional and without the possibility of destroying the piece. The value of the stock is already compromised and in my eyes downgraded to "shooter" status now regardless of its pristine appearance. Any thoughts on which type epoxy would work best?

Well, that changes everything.

How about sticking a rod down the 'black hole' and see how much of the screw is actually left? If that is the bottom of the screw, then you would only have to drill out about 3/16" of the screw x base diameter of the thread to break it loose and drive it out. Then you can separate the wood and pick out the pieces of thread and clean up the tapped hole.

It's actually gotten easier.

For sure your description and pictures are at best "confusing".
If that is indeed the tail end in the picture, someone has already drilled and monkeyed with it!
