    Assuming from what you say, you have both pieces of the stock, if so then
    you will need to drill a small hole in both pieces just a bit bigger than a dowel (steel- wood, or whatever) and insert the rod and then apply the best glue you have on hand. Or, you can use a woodscrew to do it and then grind the screw head off and fill in the void. Done very careful you may not even notice the break unless it was splintered badly.
    Acaglass is the best to use for this type of work.

    Gun control is hitting what your aiming at.

    mrbruce:Yes I have Both pieces of the Stock! Thank you for yor input!
    I do have two more questions.
    1. What is Acaglass, and where can I buy it?
    2. What Glue would you recommend?

    I'm very disappointed with Gorilla Glue!
    Thanks Shooter

    Shooter1: Acraglas is a type of 2 part epoxy that is mainly used for glass-bedding of barrels. It is also excellent to use as a super-strong glue. It is available from Brownells. http://www.brownells.com/aspx/ns/home/default.aspx
    Just be very careful if you are going to try the "drill and dowel" method to re-attatch the two halves of your stock. If you don't get the holes lined up exactly you will have to do alot of sanding to even things out. I like to temporarily tape the two halves of the stock together(or clamp it in a gun vise if you have one). Once you are satisfied that everything is lined up properly, use a Dremel tool to hog out 3 channels about 1.5" long across perpendicular to the break. You can then just lay in a piece of steel rod(I like to use a wood screw with the head cut off to give it more bite) and use the Acraglas to fill in the channels. Once everything is cured(24hrs), you can remove the excess Acraglas with your Dremel tool again. If you really want to get fancy, you can combine this operation with a full-length glass bedding job; not necessary, but if you're going through the trouble anyway......

    01DUSE:This Mauser K98 Stock has a hole drilled from the Bayonet Lug about 12" down the fore arm. this was for a Cleaning rod.So to cut 3 channels down the length of the barrel in a 3/4" wide Channel will take more skill than I have? I like you idea although I don't understand it completely,I would have to cut deep to use a wood screw, and that could put me in the Cleaning rod Channel.There is not alot of room to work in 3/4" wide area.
    Will the Acaglass work by it's self with out the rods?
    Thanks Shooter

    You need to degrease the stock FIRST! Use Oven cleaner
    spray on type, let it dry, wipe off w/burlap bag or a
    terry cloth towel. may bleach the stock a lighter color
    Test it first.. it is a lye type acid....
    BE SAFE!! Buffler

    I am assuming that the cut was made under a barrel band as this is the most common and preferred way.

    Using two short pieces of 3/8 inch dowling, drill and insert on either side of the cleaning rod channel. Abutt the pieces together and mark where to make your holes in the forward piece and do so. You will need a thin piece of wood to bridge the wood that was lost when the cut was originally made (veneer works good for this).
    When ready to assemble, using thin coats of Elmer's professional wood glue, align and let stand vertically, nose down in a corner for 24 hours.

    p3skyking:Thanks I think I can do that shouldn't be to hard.The Cut was made above the band that the sling hooks too.So the cut will be visible.But that is History so no big deal.Shooter

    I've made small transfer punches by turning a piece of bolt or steel rod the proper size in a drill chuck and dremel grinding a center point on one end. Make these jsut long enough for the point to stick out on the first set of holes in the stock and line up the end piece and tap. has always worked well for me and I save the used ones. Drill your holes a little large to allow for alignment/ angle and fill the spaces with your adhesive. I like the 24 hour epoxy.
