Restorations rarely seem to go as planned, but the 'surprises' are valuable as they make all of us better problem solvers and force us to become...creative! Even when we may not want to, LOL! You do great work and your channel is the best! Keep the projects coming...
Love what your doing! I’m currently fixing up my grandads Favourite here in New Zealand, his name was actually Steven so it was the perfect gun for him haha. His farther unfortunately passed away when he was 14 so he never got to step up to the bigger rifles but he always kept his favourite to remember his dad. Now it’s mine and I’m bringing it back to life after 20 ish years or sitting in storage.
Thank you jady! Long term storage has ruined many firearms. Glad you found my channel and glad you are working to fix up yours. Hope you subscribe and watch more of the vids on restoring my steavens. And welcome to someone so far from New Hampshire.
Do you know the cause of those cracks, Bill? I doubt it was recoil. LOL But you're doing a commendable job bringing her back to life and restoring her former beauty! 👍
Yup...here is my theory. This is exactly like the Winchester 92 that I repaired a few years back (it is my best performing video). The 92 had a side load that split off one side of the stock at the receiver. But when I got into the repair I noticed that the little wood ear was broken and missing...just like the Stevens was. I think the same thing happened. Some little kid (or adult) fell or got the rifle caught or crashed to the ground...it had a side load that split the stock at the inletting...and broke away the ear that I replaced. Only to be discovered by me 75 years later trying to do a restoration. And this might explain why some previous owner refinished the butt stock.
@@SixRoundsStudio Yessir! I suspected a side stress was the culprit. But what you're doing is no "patch job." It's the real deal and she'll be as good as new when you're done!
In the dental field we use carbon paper similarly how you’re using that inletting black. Maybe it’s application can be used for your needs if you can’t find anymore of it. Cya Bill.

A little brown Accra glas will fix those cracks and tighten the wood to metal fit at the same time. Love the channel btw!
Yep...epoxy will be the solution. Thanks Mike..and thanks for being here.
