Laminate Stock repair

[Hoosierdaddy1]

I have a stock that had 2” cut off of it, for my son to use the gun. I’m having a hard time finding a replacement stock for this gun. So I am wanting to reattach the piece I cut off, years ago. It is laminate if that matters, Has anyone ever successfully reattached one that was cut?

I was thinking of pinning with maybe an old carbon arrow (cutting 2” piece) in a couple spots with a good wood epoxy, thoughts?

Rockler and Woodcraft have it on the shelf as well. Castleton.

Guarantee you don’t leave with only the glue.

Brownells Accra Glass is the best epoxy I’ve used for wood repair. Regardless of what you do, you’ll probably have a small line showing at the repair/extension. Laminate stocks are more utilitarian than a fancy piece of walnut, so it shouldn’t be a horrible deal. Drill and dowel it like has already been said. A good thing about this is all the force is pushing flat on your repair and you have two big, flat surfaces so it should stay solid for you.
