Help request, cracked stock on Ithica 600

[Dundee]

I've got a cracked stock on my Ithica 600. Does anyone know a resource in Lafayette area that would work on it? If no I'll try epoxying it myself first before just replacing it. Your comments appreciated, thanks.

Numrich Gun Parts has replacement stocks, also some on ebay. Repairing isn't a hard chore either if you go that way, use a good quality two part epoxy and strap it together tightly while it cures

Thx 451

What about superglue for wood repairs?
They use the thin to fix cracks in recurve bow risers.
I did such a repair on a Groves Spitfire Magnum with success (notorious for cracking where broadhead cut out is).

You are starting to see the cyanoacrylate glues being used in place of the old standby carpenters glue in wood working. They tend to use the thicker bodied versions though. Is the stock in two pieces? If not, can you see a gap where the crack is? Epoxy may be a little thick if the crack is not open enough. If it's just a crack and there is no separation, the water thin cyanoacrylate (super glue) May just work if you can flood it into the crack.

There used to be a man and wife business that had a booth at the 1500 that were from Greencastle area. I think they were North of 70 on US231. I can't remember their name. They fixed cracked stocks and fitted grips on revolvers. Did a very good job too.
