WANTED T/C Hawkin stock 45/50 cal flintlock

[Thunder14]

I“m looking to replace my stock on my T/C Hawkin 50cal Flintlock I’m beginning to get stress fractures by the lock,so I would like a stock for every day use. Ya I know look on Thief Bay I will not pay those ridiculous prices I was hoping someone here might know of one at a reasonable price.
Thank you

Superglue will work wonders when wicked into cracks until they won't hold any more. I use it on cracks on wood bows, even with a limb flexing I have never had a crack open back up.

On a lock mortise that split out really badly when a drill bit wandered and the pin tried to go out a toothpick plugged hole I super glued the crack, gave it a tight string wrap and proceeded to finish the rifle after the glue dried.

The crack was 1" long with large splinters of wood knocked out, I fit the pieces back together like a jigsaw puzzle. The first picture shows the repaired crack and bad exit hole plugged.

The last picture is the finished guns lock molding and now almost invisible crack.

Hey Eric, I pm,d Thunder I had this that I put back together like a shattered leg...brass screws and wood glue.
Solid but not pretty. One could certainly hang hardware on it and make it a knock around for the woods.
I took a tumble last year and it didnt take much to break it. Rather not see it go to firewood if someone can use it. If someone could use it they can have it for postage.

Hi Eric,thanks for the suggestion I did exactly that I put super glue in the hair line fracture and clamped it. I'm always impressed with your craftsmanship you're work is beautiful.
