I'm In Two Minds Weather To Repair Or Replace

Again...if its a good join then leave well alone. If you open it up again then you'll have the adhesive still on the faces and it will be much more difficult to get a good fit without having to sand the faces flat and then you never get a properly aligned join ;-)

Ohh it seems a very strong bond I put it round my knee like you do when you want to snap a stick I'm a big lad I could break it no matter what I tried so il need nitromors dam I've got sand paper here I think just a little sanding around join its such a small gap I don't think il need filler if I do can you get dark filler ?

[AirgunGuy 362]

I take it it's a beech stock? If so it will be very light when stripped so brummer would be the best thing which is mostly used for oak but would do for beech. Brummer dries very hard. A dark filler will show up more imho;-)

[Andy_c 210]

Yea it's a beech stock ok il look into it thanks!!! Brummer ! Il go find it?

[AirgunGuy 362]

Aye the beech will be very light mate when stripped and sanded. There will be a stain and varnish or oil on it just now ;-)

[AirgunGuy 362]

I'm sure I've still got some pics of my Superten beech stock after I stripped it...I'll have a look and add them to let you see ;-)

[Andy_c 210]

Yes please that would be good !!

Have you tried a rub over with a dark wax polish? might be worth a try before you go to all the expense of stripping and staining

[Andy_c 210]

What kind of stuff you on about ? I think a sand round the break and a re finsh!

Your lass told me what you both get upto with Dark Waxy things :laugh:

[Wildling 520]

f**k me all this talk of rubbing & stripping and I'm about ready to call a brass !

[Wildling 520]

The S200 has a steel rod running down the grip

If I were you I would repair it ordinary PVA (wood glue) will suffice

Sinply sand down the top part of the stock until it meets the lower section then touch up the varnish or oil

 

Failing that, I can put you in touch with the Craftsman who created this stock for My S200

Bit more of an update run out of sandpaper now, but back to work tomorrow after 3 months speak to the chippy

Now I'm thinking of going with a Matt finish I have some boile linseed oil in the cupboard will this do?

[Andy_c 210]
