Black Crack

[----]

Hoping for some input on what to do with a cracked ebony tip.

The cracks been there for a while, but I didn't think it was that bad until I took the gun apart for a good cleaning a couple weeks ago. It's in pretty sad shape.

Is there any way to salvage it? It won't spread into the walnut, correct?

It's frustrating because there's no scuffs on the stock at all, I don't think there was an impact that caused the separation.

Tape the whole front half of the stock off except the crack, you'll want to massage some epoxy as far down into the crack as you can, set up a jug to squeeze it back where it belongs. Depending on the how much of a mess the over run on epoxy causes, will determine if you have to sand and paint the end. I'd think a smith could pull it off without the need to sand.

I definitely wouldn't shoot it anymore until the crack in under control from spreading.

From the title, I thought this was going to be about a moose sighting

Take it to a smith and have them fix it. Should cost less than 20% of what a McMillan would cost.

Take this advice, goat slayer.

A smith will make it look like the crack was never there and it will be stronger.

Heathen. And from a wood worker no less.

Thanks for the how-to Widgeon, but I think I'll follow the other's advice and let a pro at it. It's too nice a stock for me to fubar.

Dale- I'll give Dan a call.

$25 bucks and a week at the Smith later and it's now a filled crack. I'm glad I didn't mess with it.

Money well spent.

Bass. I'm never in the Bitterroot during business hours, unfortunately.
