Steaming the dents and what is left of the old finish on the butt stock.
Steam bending the splay out of the action end.
Gluing the cracks on both sides.
Part of the stock was damaged from being loose, so I had to build it up with glue and sawdust for a binder.
Opened the crack on the bottom to get some glue inside
I wedged it open when the crack was glued and steam bent it to open it a little more so it would not contact the barrels.
One of the original screw fittings bound up and was spinning in the stock, so I found some brass replacements at the hardware store and glued them in.
