Do you know how close a fit it would be for a Rossi, and does yours have the buttplate still on? Having the buttplate would solve one issue when swapping out.. TY

Do what an Indian would do, if faced with the same problem. Ooops.....can I still even say, "Indian" anymore? OK, Ok, ok...….if you were offended, ask Elizabeth Warren how to do it.

Buffalo/horse glue and raw hide (or white mans metal wire, as a substitute) to wrap the crack. I guess in a pinch, a good modern day carpenter's glue could substitute for the buffalo/horse glue. Don't forget to add a couple of tacks.

At any rate....the repair/added bling would add character while shooting it.

Or perhaps another (sort of) "Indian" stock repair?

My 1897 Winchester developed a stock crack after I sat on it. Yup....it's not only spurs that cowboys have to worry about when squatting/sitting. Anyway, the stock developed a crack. The crack didn't entirely break off the stock. So since I'm cheap, I decided that I'd give the repair a try. I bought some glue and got my clamps out. Then, I did some research on YouTube. LOL. I decided that just injecting glue into the crack with the use of clamps would probably be enough.

WRONG. The very next match I was back to square one. The crack had actually grown bigger.

So, still determined to fix it myself. I purposely broke off the wooden stock this time, at the crack. I bought some real carpenter's glue and some surgical rubber hose at the hardware store. I cleaned up the crack with alcohol, as best that I could. YES, some wood slivers were lost in the process. Oh well, on with the repairs. So, I pieced the stock pieces together with glue. Wrapped it in saran wrap and a final wrapping with the surgical rubber (to hold things tight). Then, I waited. Once I was happy that the glue was dried, I removed everything. A bit of sanding and linseed oil and I was done.

Here are some pics from my own adventures into stock repair.






So far, the repair has lasted the entire year of cowboy shooting.

Personal note : "Don't sit on your shotgun."

Wood stock repair

Just an FYI...Those wire wraps on the British Enfield's weren't repairs. Those were manufactured/modified for launching grenades.

Yeah....I was looking for an actual repair on an old rifle. But, I couldn't find any stock photos of such a repair. But either way....the idea is a simple one for a repair.

I was able to order a new one from Rossi- it's been shipped, I hope it fits with a minimum of issues...
