What can you do about a Forearm crack?

[K98]

Things are not well in Tozland. When I bought my $100 Toz-78 it arrived with a crack in the stock. I didn't bother sending it back because Armrus was going out of business and it wasn't all worth the hassle for a $100 gun. Is there something I can maybe use to fill the crack in with to prevent it from spreading more or does anyone have any suggestions?

That's not in a critical spot. A bit of epoxy or regular wood glue will fix it.

Try "Crazy Glue" or if you feel adventerous,use some toothpicks,drill holes the same size as the toothpick,dip in carpenters glue mixed with a little sawdust,insert in holes(I break off the 1st 3/8"s or so of the toothpick),clamp,let dry overnite,sand,refinish and Bobs yer uncle its done!

Just take a rubber spatula or just a piece of flat stiff rubber or pliable plastic and use it to force weld bond into the crack from the barrel channel side keep forcing it in (like grouting a wall tile) until it shows up on the other side
you can clamp it to close up the crack even further if needed
Let it get tacky then wipe off the excess with a damp rag
No need for drills or refinishing on something this small
