Four Military Surplus Rifle Stock Repairs

[@TheBobafett13]

Ive really been enjoying your videos. Watching someone on youtube who knows not only what they are talking about, but know what they are doing is really cool to see. Pretty rare these days. Great stuff!

Fantastic video. Just what I was looking for. I have a Czech mauser 98/22 with a walnut strock broken off in exactly the same place as the first rifle you showed and I just bought a piece of Walnut yesterday to repair it. I've been debating how to try and achieve this thinking I wont have the skills to try the kind of intersecting fingers like the Finns used on their Mosin stocks. Seeing what you did gives me the solution I need. Thanks.

It's good that you have restored these classics back into shooting condition with new stocks. They live again! Thanks for sharing!

[@G41wal]

Awesome vid ! I kow Mark Novak goes about putting rods in the stock and using acraglass to hold and strengthen the stock

[@MikeM10293]

That is what I have always done as well. Ideally with brass threaded rod but I have used steel before.

[@jamesvatter5729]

Compared to what I've seen others try, these are some impressive repairs.

[@paulvenn4447]

Doing God's work mate, saving those old mil specs is a worthy endeavour.

[@Domenicoswain]

I really like your videos. They are very informative and educational. With very good easy to understand expectations of your craft thank you! I really appreciate it!!!

[@MikeM10293]

Very good job with the blending. I just got done adding a new piece to a broken 10ga shotgun stock. It works great but it is very obvious that it is replaced.

GREAT job Rakum !!

[@_MrGiggles]

Really nice job on all of these!

I gotta say Sir, you do fine work. I wish u could fibercate a 1916 Spanish mauser upper handguard. I'm using an upper handguard taken off by a Spanish 1893 Spanish mauser that we are getting into shape.

Good morning!

[@demos113]

Lovely. 👍

[@Geep918]

Do you have a video on your Kar 88 fore-end repair? I'd like to do pretty much the same repair to a gun that I have.

[@rakumprojects]

I don't have a video of actually doing the repair. The technique is similar to how I fix duffle cuts (which I have a video on), only exception is that the original stock was shaped as the tenon instead of a separate piece.

[@slowhand1198]

Slowly getting better at this myself. Used a bit of a Krag stock I'd repaired to fix a Belgiam 1935. Old wood does match better.

[@RUSTYCHEVYTRUCK]

Hopefully the front 2/3 of the SMLE stock I used to un sporterise a rifle that subsequently broke due to being poorly fitted got used for this purpose

[@Hermann-lz2jb]

I need a Kar 88 volt assembly, any idea? Will a regular g88 bolt fit?

[@rakumprojects]

Yes, they'll interchange just fine. Might look a little odd with the straight bolt handle though

[@darrylsmith7908]

These rifles look awesome! I think you should leave all of them as-is mainly because they look field repairs. I have a Gewehr 88/05 with a field repair stock. They didn’t even use walnut for the repair. The rifle also has bayonet slash marks along the mid section of it by the repair. Again your repairs look awesome, keep up the great work!

Nice videos, sir. And? You need to speak in other than a monotone. You sound like AI narrated this? Add some vocal emphasis here and there to your excellent narrative. ...
