Cracked stock question

[Capt powder]

I recently purchased this m avance tvm 45 cal online(used but posted like new). Got it just before Christmas and was busy with family stuff thru holidays until finally getting a chance to really look it over and noticed a crack in front of trigger guard and looked farther and it was on both sides. It appears to be an older crack. What can or should I do to fix it best? Or just leave it be?

Take the barrel out and see how bad it is in the barrel channel. Because it is a TVM, I'll bet the ramrod channel is routed out, and you can glue a reinforcing block in it plus some thin CA glue in the cracks from the inside and bed the barrel for about 8" . Be careful. The barrel might be all that is holding it together. With all the inlets in that area there isn't a lot of wood left. With the barrel there it would be hard for the stock to flex.

How do you get all the pins out?

I use a small 1/16" 1911 .45 disassembly punch I bought from Dixie gun works years ago(even a nail of the right size with a squared off end will work) with a light hammer. You should see the pin move with a light tap. Just make sure there isn't any finish or wood shrinkage in the holes to to chip the wood around the holes as the pin comes out. I doubt TVM put enough finish on it to matter. Standard procedure is out from the left and in from the right, but it is your gun to do it however you want.
