UPS broke my J P Sauer hammergun stock through the wrist. I had it repaired, and the stock maker used a walnut biscuit about 1/4' by 1.5". It broke again. I removed the trigger guard, and chiseled out a mortise 3/8ths" wide by 5" long by 3/4" deep. This entire mortise would be covered by the trigger guard.
I held the two pieces of stock together with a clamp. and made a cast of the mortise. I made an exact duplicate of the cast by grinding and filing a piece of aircraft alluminum bar stock. I ground channels all around it for the epoxy to flow and through and grip on to. I used acra glass as the bonding agent. The stock seems far stronger now than ever, and the repair is completely unseen when the trigger guard is in place. I am having a new buttstock and forearm turned before anything else happens, but I am confident this repair will hold.
