"HH" (a.k.a. Dave) Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Broke a chunk out of my SG stock on my very last stage at EOT this year and am looking for replacement options. I went to Stoeger, Midwest Gun Works and BolandFX websites and their new stocks are all "out-of-stock". I hit the Notify me buttons, but in the meantime am looking for other sources. I'm amenable to buying a roughly fitted stock blank if that's all that's out there, but would prefer a real Stoeger stock. I'm not in a screaming hurry as I bought a much nicer SG about 3-hours after that last stage, but I do want to get the Stoeger back in service as a backup and for use in BP matches. If you don't have one to sell, but know of potential sources other than the three I've mentioned above, please chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend P. Babcock Chase Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Howdy HH (aka), I got a terrific deal on a Stoeger years ago due to a cracked stock. I looked everywhere for a replacement with no luck. I decided to fix the crack with some epoxy and careful clamping. It worked so well that I then went and recontoured and refinished the wood. It looks much better and has held up well. I'd suggest that you repair the stock you have as best you can because it may be a long wait until you find a replacement. Rev.

Chase Thanks for the pointer, but unfortunately, mine didn't just crack. I lost a chunk about 1/2" wide by 1-1/2" long right on top where the stock attaches to the gun. I can clearly see the guts of the gun through the gap. I looked all over for the piece that came out, but to no avail. I may have to resort to forming a piece and/or using epoxy, wood putty and/or autobody filler to fill in the hole and reshape it to not interfere with the inner workings, but initially I'll search for a new/replacement stock. Since I already bought a new, and better, shotgun it's relegated to backup status anyway. I can wait to see if one becomes available for now.

WOLFY Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Mine was missing a chunk as well… glued some brown plastic to it (one day i’ll try and do a finer job)… it ain’t pretty but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Sackett Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 You might be able to locate a cabinet maker / woodworker that could cut the bad area out and fit in a replacement section. If done correctly it would be as strong as original and not be very noticeable. Sam Sackett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
