[QUOTE="Bruce Treloar, post: 2492320, member: 104002"] I have been making carbon stocks since 1970 and am pretty sure the construction of your cracked stock is due to being made in pieces. Many makers build the bottom in two pieces and leave the barrel channel and action open, then lay up the top to suit the inletting required. The early McMillans were made in this way but don't know their current construction. That's why I like making in one piece without joins. Would suggest contacting the maker/seller for a replacement. Trying to repair is not going to work well as old cured resin does not bond satisfactory. Add this to solvent and oil from use and it's going to fail in the future. [/QUOTE]
