I have a real challenge. A broken Glenfield 75 stock.

Step 1. Glue it together.

Ok! We have the same issue! I have a glenfield 75 with a cracked stock in the same area. It's a nail hanger rifle in the barn for varmints and such. I did put some elmers in there at one time. It was a $35 rifle bought when Gibsons closed and sold on clearance. Its actually a very accurate shooter in real life. Recently took it off the nail and did the annual cleaning and oiling even though a single shot had not been fired through it in the year previous. It just gathers dust, and It might be a fun project to actually repair the crack so it doesn't show so much.

Did you see this one I fixed a few years ago? The stock was cracked but not yet broken in half like this one.

I did. My stock is cracked but not totally broken. Like I said, I put a little elmers glue on it, put it in a vise and clamped it until the glue dried.
The fun part of this would be to lose the crack line and maybe refinish it like I did a Model 10 Win shotgun. Make it more into a walnut vs birch look?
I'm looking for projects! lol
