Holy shite you actually built a stock duplicator. I thought this was a hand cut one -off you made till I saw the last batch of pictures. Well done. Are you in the business of stock repair? Any plans to sell duffle cut replacement sections for us plebes that like to repair sporters but can’t find...

I have a dot 44 I’d have to look but pretty sure the byf trigger guard is correct. Do you have pics showing more of the stock. I’m curious about the state of the wood.

Picked up a buttplate to complete a late war e/1 stock that I’m remilitarizing a sporter into. It has some remnants of reddish brown paint inside and these numbers as pictures show. I haven’t seen them numbered inside like this. What does anyone think? German production? Post war yugo or...

All cleaned up and installed. Made a quick tool to help me get it tight. Now to reassemble.

Once dry, In two steps I then refit the lug and bedded it with acraglass. The entire transverse surface of the wood behind the lug was bedded with a thin layer and more importantly where the heads of the lug and the nut sit that had been pushed back were bedded. Of course used release agent...

I pulled the lug. The broken segment of wood was still mechanically locked by surrounding wood and only moved back and forth less than 1/16 inch. I elected to not try and blast the piece out. Instead I pushed the broken piece forward to its original position and drilled two 3/64 holes starting...

Well I took some time this morning off to do my taxes so…. I’m procrastinating and posting an update: I have repaired the stock that I will be putting the dot 44 in. Here is the culprit. The wood immediately behind the lug had cracked on the laminations where I am pointing with the rods...

Then it is a little strange why he would get it inspected and chamber cast in the 1990s unless he brought it back and never tried to fire it until then. So much for my theory

My suspicion for the gunsmith inspection in the 1990s would be that the original owner of the gun, your great grandfather, either passed or was no longer able to remember or convey the caliber information. Whoever took ownership of the rifle prudently took it to a gunsmith to determine caliber...

Overall I would say decent buy. I got a pair of similar sporters for a little less earlier this year but they had the buttplates removed and swapped with rubber recoil pads and the rear sight base hand guard retaining lip was clipped. Hard to tell in the pictures but yours looks intact so that...

Seen pictures at the guys test firing/ sighting at oberndorf with either not ear protection or maybe just cotton plugs. Firing hundreds of rounds a day every day next to other guys doing the same. They must have all gone deaf. But then again most factories at the time were load places with no...

Ha ha Waste not want not. Thanks for your input. Right now that wood piece is firmly stuck, hopefully it becomes loose when I take the cross bolt out and then yes would plan to acraglass. I hesitate to put fasteners through it as I think would just lead to more splitting of the thin segments...

Realized I never took a photo after I had it back together so quick snapped one. They even match today!

That is the plan

I am on to another project for the moment (cetme building) but hope to add to this thread over the winter.

If the chipped wood is loose I plan to use acraglass to reinstall it pushing it forward to an abut the recoil lug which I will temporarily reinstall with acraglass release. What I have seen in the one or two other posts I have found about this repair is that people then relieve some of the...

I have experience with acraglass doing basic bedding and repairing cracked toes in other rifle stocks. My tentative plan for this repair is to remove the lug cross bolt and lug. See if that makes that chipped wood become loose. Fill the holes in the recoil nut with clay and coat with acraglass...

I now have acquired two late war laminated stocks from a board member here. An e/1 stock that I intend to put the dot44 in and a waa135 for the byf43. The e/1 will require some repair. There seems to be about 1/32 set back in the wood immediately behind the recoil lug. The seller had placed a...

Thought I would make one thread for my two sporter remilitarization projects I will be posting pictures and questions as I go. I previously purchased two k98 sporters at auction. I bid on these because while the stocks had been thoroughly modified the metal appeared relatively untouched...
