    Years back, I purchased an m24/47 with a duffel cut that was never reattached. There are still rough saw marks. The previous owner claims neither he or his grandfather shot it once it was brought back after WWII. The rifle itself has a few battle scars but it was well kept over the years.

    I'm fairly confident I can cleanly reattach the stock cleanly. Since I'll be using Acraglas, my primary concern is something oozing out unnoticed. I'll be taping off the edges but it can only do so much. It's hard to file it down without hitting the wood and it's even harder to match a 75+ year old oiled stock.

    If anyone has any tips or lessons learned through experience, I'm all ears.

    Now this is a quality post. It looks like you should make the 50 posts by 2023...

    If the stock is cut at the lower band, you can repair it with a couple dowels and some glue and it should be unnoticeable when the band is reinstalled. These were cut down to take home in a duffel bag without sticking out.

    You may want to repost this in long guns.
