Anybody ever made their own stock???

I did a long time ago--like when I was 9 or 10 and broke my red ryder.  The advice already given is good.  PATIENCE!  Fitting the stock into the receiver takes time, but now you can use epoxy bedding and cheat.

Maybe you could re-bed the existing stock until you save your $$$.

 If it split you could wrap it with fiberglass, I've seen Winchesters in museums that Indians fixed by wraping with raw hide and letting it shrink, if that help fiberglass ought to.

Not if it was the almighty Block! 

Watch It Haz..... I carry a BLOCK!!!

The gun is similar to this, and the part that's broken off is broken off above that right lock, so the wrap it in rawhide method wouldn't work. I figure the most complicated and time consuming part will be fitting the thing to the locks. But seeing how I still have the original to model it after, I don't think it'll be as big a problem.

 Super glue it together to use as a pattern. It might be strong enough to shoot that way as the glue seam will not give away, but the wood around it might.

Glue is how I fixed it the first time. It wasn't strong enough to shoot.......

 It should hold for lay out.
