Does your deck, fence or anything else with expansion not hold up during the cold/hot?
I know mine are fine, other then being out in the harsh conditions for years and years on end until they rot and then need to be replaced
A good mechanical connection of ones choosing located in the B-files fashion is a good start. I like who ever suggested removing an 1/8" of wood on both sides where the pins go through and gluing in some metal plates drilled to match the weak locations of the pin holes.
That's true, and someone pointed out another solution which to me it should work very well: "Drill a hole straight down into the reciever plate", "This screw would then go straight down into the pistol grip".
Better fixes probably mean harder to achieve. It'll be hard or no way to turn back and possibly void the warranty.
I tried to reinforce the stock by putting a screw to the back of the receiver where there is a hold in the recoil spring lock, but the brass screw head just broke off when I try to hand torque it. I then put some steel epoxy in the hole and there is no turning back. Link to the original post.
Think twice before doing any DIY fix.
Measure twice, cut once.....
I was the one that suggested you could fill it with expoxy if you didn't want to peen the brass....
bonding and insetting some metal plates to the stock where it slides into the receiver, and getting the holes in the right place, is not within everyone's skill sets that's for sure.
I think I'm gonna talk to my millwright buddy and see if he can make something exactly like this

Should have come from the factory like this. I don't understand how the manufacturer thought that 2 mm of wood alone would be a good solution.

Thank you for the recommendation, I feel a lot better now. Last thing in my mind is how to remove the epoxy if TI provides a reinforced stock to be installed. Maybe I could hammer it out, or rotary with a copper brush.
you will need to cut a pretty chunk of wood to reshape it. i thought iwas pretty close to the chinese svd: ndm but not at all as svd and ndm are interchangeable ...
Id be freezing the sale of them and retrofitting what stock is left. They say they've only observed a 1% failure rate, but i suspect a large percentage (double digits) of the purchasers are like me and havent even fired the gun yet. And many who have fired it only have a couple hundred rounds thru it. IMO its not a question of if they will break, but more so when?
they even sold pso scope alone ...
And now we have winter and nobody will shoot them.
I have lost my faith in this company.
I will just find a solution myself, not with that screw thing, it has to look and feel right.
The reason we are getting that story is that he would have to provide a complete new end stock with associated hardware in order to fix the problem. Both upper and lower areas of the stock towards the receiver have to be modified.

It also is a disgrace that we cannot buy the pins and Heron plate from him, as if that would be so hard.
