if its any good to you you can have this old voere stock for postage?

it has the tang safety cut out but that would be easier to fill than the forearm
but it is mauser and was a sporter barrel, you are quite welcome to it if you want

Can't you just buy one of those $100 laminated stock from the USA?. A few here have bought them, for all sorts of rifles. Buy direct or maybe from brownells I can't remember the name. Some one will remember.

Marksman, thanks for the offer but I've started redoing this one and have spent too much on it to pull out now
I really do appreciate your offer thanks

Cheers

Yeah. Sorry, mate. Not trying to be a downer, just pointing out some potential issues. If you wanted to go the timber route, I'd be inclined to try to match the timber colour as close as possible.
If you go the resin route, I'd cut a diagonal line (or at least heavily mask) and pair it back evenly for a distance so you have a definite stop between the epoxied section and the old timber. Remember to cut back all the old finish to ensure a good bond of epoxy to timber. 80grit paper should do it and leave good tooth for mechanical bond.

Geez Marksman I may have jumped the gun mate I was sanding the old stock down and found tons of shatter cracks along the full length
of it, it looks like someone has run over the rifle at some stage they certainly covered it well to sell it to me
The whole thing has turned into a major job but I don't think its fixable
So mate does that offer still stand with that stock that you have if so I would like to take you up on it and count my losses on this one

Cheers

Yeah Oldbloke not many left is there we're a dying breed
Ya know Gwion I took a little fellow fishing on a beach once he had MS and they used to wheel him around in a stroller pram
I used to work with his dad and we were camping with them at the place where we were fishing
Anyway I threw his line out and he caught a small fish something he had never been able to do with his own parents so on catching this
fish he peed himself with all the excitement and he started to cry because he said his mum would go crook now that he had wet himself
So I had no option I wheeled him out up to his neck ,looked down at him and said '' she won't know now will she '' and the smile on his face was treasure

My point being anybody can be a good person but they choose not to be

Cheers

I put ''we are a dying breed '' I had to prove the we part meaning me as well were good so saving that little boy from a tune up
from his mum probably would do it ''BUT'' obviously it didn't
Just a half hearted attempt at humour on my part

OK... was just a little unsure why the humour was addressed to me. No worries.

No mate got some wild looks from mum at the time but all simmered down eventually
That boy was 8yr then and is 24 now and he still remembers that day clearly and I still remember his little smile
but time is taking its tole on him now
Gold to me to see a smile on any bodies face like that

You could get a nice piece of wood and start from scratch.
