Stock repair maybe?
 

Attached are pics of a very old stock repair that seems to be very solid except for a crack about two inches long from the receiver on the cheek. I think the repair at the wrist is acur glass and it seems to be alright as I have been shooting the gun and it has not changed at all. There is a small dowel through the crack that was not visible until I did some cleaning. Neither was the crack.
I am thinking about trying to repair this myself. Will soaking in acetone damage the material that was used in the previous repair or do you think it will hold up to this. Any suggestions are appreciated. I'm thinking about using it for turkey hunting this year. It is choked very tight in both tubes. I need it to be as stable as possible. Thanks. Gerald

The material on the wrist is a little higher than the wood. I am thinking about working this down and having it re-checkered.I don't think the crack there is as big as it looks. I have seen another one on this site that I believe was done by the same person. When I first saw it I thought it was this gun. Gerald

While I'm not sure what "repair" you are considering that involves acetone, you can rest assured that this solvent will not do the rather artless wrist repair any good.

If you want this Parker's stock "restored" to something more presentable, I'd recommend that you seek out a professional stocker to do the work. You won't regret it.

I am wanting to remove the oil from the wood, repair the crack on the check, refinish the stock and recut the checkering. Any one you would recommend?

Gerald:
Any of the stockers who frequent this forum would be fine. The Stock Doctor is a particular favorite of mine, but others do good work as well.

Acetone soaking will likely remove or compromise any glue (or whatever it is) that was previously used.

One thing for sure, is that the stock has a ton of oil in it and will need to be removed in order to get any sort of decent repair.

I speak from my own experience that soaking a stock in Acetone will soften Acraglas.

Thanks John. Did it remove it completely?

It softened it enough that worn green scotchbrite wiped off anything that was exposed...

Gerald, you've been given very good advice here. Suggest you have the stock work done by one of the pro's mentioned. You won't be disappointed.
