Repairing a stock like that is fun, except when there's a pervious failed attempt that needs to be removed!

I've done a similar repair on a small Cooey stock. It came in three broken parts, with a profuse amount of dried hot glue... :(

That rifle reminds me of a Spanish Short Mauser I refinished last year.

haha thanks K98 i missed that part ;-)

Lou the only repair done to it was some Wood Glue and then some Tape Wraped around it!
Found this in my Grandfathers Collection he cant seem to rember were it came from said it was given to him from a friend who didnt know the Cal it was broken when it was given to him and he never even tried to figure out what it was!

Lou you have any ideas on a good way to Fix it if you think it is salvageable if not can some one point me to a Replacement stock!

I would like to get the Gun inspected to see if its safe to shoot. Might be interested in using it!

That was one very pretty little M93 spanish mauser at one time. They usually shoot very well in their original 7x57 chambering. Many were converted to the 7.62x51 Cetme round, which shares the same dimensions as the 7.62x51 Nato. The main difference is the bullet used which had an aluminum core and was about 127 grains.

That damage looks like other rifles I've seen that were split from high pressures. The magazine bottom plate is expanded out and the extractor is missing. The wood is broken away from the stock bolts. All indicative of an extreme reaction caused by high pressures. Get a gunsmith to look at the recoil lug ways in the receiver to check for set back.

These are tough little actions and will usually stretch before exploding. Some of the Spanish mausers had gas escape holes in the side of the receiver, some don't and vent the escaping gas around the bolt or through the bolt and out two holes on the bottom of the bolt, causeing the expanded mag bottom plate and the resulting damage to the stock.

I may certainly be wrong about the catastrophic failure and I hope I am, but all of the signs are there.
 
Good observation there Bearhunter. Before fixing the stock, let's first make sure there's a rifle to intall in it! :)

Then, repairing the stock: I'd first make sure contact surfaces were clean and matched (removing the old glue). I'd then use West Epoxy glue. I'd clamp everything together. I would drill in a few spots for reinforcing dowels. Then refinish the wood.

I wonder if Numrich in the States would have a stock...
