Plastic stock repair

[Vimace]

I can't believe how fortunate, and lucky, I am.
I went digging and came up with a broken wooden stock for a J.C.Higgins shotgun.
This was a bolt action shotgun that a friend had. It had a broken stock at the wrist.
Broken clean through. Someone had glued it back together and did a horrible job. I found a used replacement stock for it and replaced the stock for the friend.
When I took it back repaired he said " you fixed it so it's yours"!
Well, I never threw away the bad stock and guess what.
Yep, it had a metal trigger guard screwed into the stock.
I removed it from the broken stock and held it in position on the broken Remington stock and it's more or less a perfect fit. The rear action screw will hold the rear of the trigger guard and I can use a wood screw in the front hole.
I painted the guard to prevent rust and I need to get a screw that is 1/4" longer than what I have, but I have this problem figured out and all I'll need to buy is one screw!

Awesome. Well, give it a try

Post some pics, I'd help to understand better your situation and others could advise You better !

Not perfect, but completely serviceable.
Really doesn't look that bad.
Used an oscillating saw with a thin flat blade to remove the stubs of the original trigger guard.
Used a Dremel tool to inlet (a little too deep) the replacement trigger guard into the plastic stock.
I needed a slightly longer action screw so I picked that up at Menards for around $.85
Overall, I m satisfied.

Better than OEM. This one won't break off.
