Hi everybody,

I have a rifle with a wooden stock. One of the screw holes is so worn
out that the "repairman" shoved the screw hole full of steel wool and
then replaced the screw. I don't think this is going to work long.
Replacing the stock is an option, but I really like this one. What
kind of repair can be done?

Please help, I can't shoot til this is fixed. -Sigh-

Thanks,
Eric


A common method is to drill out the hole so a dowel or better yet, a
plug with face grain at the ends, can be glued in, then redrill for
the screw.
