Need a Gunsmith to repair Cracked Stock on a 1979 Ruger .44Mag Deerslayer Carbine

[GaAlpinaOwner]

One of my pride and joy rifles has suffered fatique on the bottom of the wood stock just behind the Trigger on both sides of the wood. Not sure if this is repairable with pins or ??? or not. I have found only one way to replace a tube fed .44mag stock through Macons Guns Stock supply in Mo. It will cost me 200 for a new walnut stock but it will have to be fitted and finished and checkered if I decide to add this. Does any of you Gunsmiths in N Georgia do this type of work. I may want a complete disassembly, cleaning /reassembly of the gun itself. I am in the Cumming area.

Thanks I have searched here and found some GunSmiths all over the South, West and East area, but no one up near Cumming/Dawsonville/Dalonega/Cleveland Ga areas. The main thing that I need is a expert fitter that can take a new wood stock and correctly fit it onto the gun, or fix the cracks to keep the originality....still looking.

Epoxy the cracks, clamp and let cure.

thanks, I was hoping to pin it in somehow then epoxy. Otherwise I think it will just recrack easier with epoxy only once it is fired.

good epoxy joints are stronger than the wood. but even if you want to pin it, this is definitely a job you could do yourself.

Do an epoxy resin fill.

Or do something like a a butterfly/bowtie inlay to lock the pieces together
