Upon disassembly I have noted that all the parts are serialized with the same original number, in good condition and everything is fully functional. Even the butt plate and stock have the original numbers. Unfortunately examination of the stock found numerous cracks.
Does anyone have a recommendation of what to use to repair the cracks?
The stock was not soaked in acetone for fear of drying and causing more problems and is consequently a bit oil soaked..
Go to our main page www.parkerguns.org and click on the FAQ link on the left. in the Parker Maintenance and Repair section read #15 & #16. They may give you some ideas.
