Hey there everyone.

I just picked up an old Zanoletti over/under. There is a hairline crack under the side plate and it extends up to the neck of the stock. I am going to use either epoxy or acraglass.

Should i soak the stock in acetone first? If so, for how long?

I can open the crack with a bit of pressure under the plate, but it does not open up near the neck too much.

Should I epoxy the front end and use wood super glue towards the back?

There doesn't seem like there is any room to pin.

Thanks.

Pietro
