I recently purchased a Midland .243 for some 200-300m varmint hunting. I didn't know much about it, but the seller said it was very accurate and the price seemed right at $270.
I liked the classic British lines, have a 1953 Sunbeam Alpine Talbot and British neighbors so I figured I get an invite to the royal wedding at least out of it all.
Anyway, the problem. The stock cracked and I tried a standard repair of wood glue and a tapped wood screw to pull the crack together followed by clamping and 48 hours of drying. I took it to the range a few days later to re-sight in and while the repair held, a new crack developed...and grew... So I have come to the conclusion that I need a new stock.
The real problem. Where do I get a replacement stock? Is it a large ring or a small ring? I took the measurements and it seemed to be right in between! I appreciate any help I could get. Thanks!
