Brownells sells a wonderful product called Acra Glas Gel. A small kit will last for years for small projects here and there. Epoxies like Durabond never held like Acra Glas on my stock projects. If need be, Acra Glas can be drilled and tapped (with limitations, of course). Strategic placement of steel pins and/or oak dowels enhance Acra Glas repairs. It can also be dyed to better match the wood. Dyes are included. I have repaired numerous stocks on heavy recoiling rifles, like the 45-70 and 11.15x60R, and lighter recoiling rifles like the 10.4x38R and 7.5x54. Good luck!
