Wood Stock Repair
Hi I have an old wood stock that had a type of sling swivels that were recessed into the stock and held in place with 2 scews, I removed them and would like to fill in the area that is about 1/2" wide and 1" long and about a 1/16" deep. Is there anything besides Acraglas for this job? thanks Bob

Hello, Pahoghunter. Just curious..What is the make of rifle and why did you remove the swivels? I have a few old rifles with such swivels, the old time gun smiths usually had a better eye for art than most modern gunsmiths give them credit for. What with the labor involved in inletting the base & drilling two holes, I think they are classier than the simple screw in a hole modern types. Just my opinion.

Its a J C HIGGINS Mod. 50, I removed them because I wanted the quick release stud type. And the inletting was crude.
