Mp44 stock repair


Recommended Posts

 

Took my 74 year old girlfriend out yesterday, and with prolonged firing the wood screws holding the stock to the ferrule loosened.i tightened them a little but after one more mag they loosened again. The screws just pulverized the dry walnut stock. I can try to jam in a hard wood dowel in the hole, but I am afraid to crack the stock. Do you know a gunsmith who can conduct such a repair? I am getting a repro in the meantime.

Thanks.

Done quite a few of these since so many of the MPs I work on have stripped screw holes. Without seeing the condition of the wood, it is difficult to advise. The screws are different sizes so each will require an appropriate sized maple dowel section to be glued in. If you want to talk about it, I can tell you how I do the work, which is not difficult. However, there are some tricks that are helpful and necessary to do it right. You can call me at 802-226-7204 if you want to talk a/out it.
