dented laminate stock

[Lock Stock]

Take em further out in future !

I reckon it was 60mtrs out doing c.80mph and coming out of the sun when I hit it, but then again I have been known to over exaggerate slightly on occasions it was probably 10mtrs away and as fast as a snail in reality

So annoying! Feel for you, always keep my gun in a slip when I'm not shooting to stop this sort of thing.

Thanks Oldblaster, I keep it in the slip as well - but this pesky bit hit whilst I was shooting I've got over the upset now and might just shove some chewing gum in it

I'm no expert, but I'd be tempted to drip some (black or grey?) epoxy resin into it and then level it down. You could drill it out a more regular shape before filling it too. I don't think I would be confident enough to paint it to match. A surfboard repairer might be a good port of call. The other thing I might consider is trying to work a pattern or decorative metal design over it to cover it.. Like a repair tattoo.

Cheers barryfzr that sounds a great call! I'm a bit to shakey with the Black & Decker to try it myself so a surfer dude may be the man for me!

Simpler answer , there are thousands of laminated rifle and air rifle stocks in use daily they get made , customised , bedded , repaired every day of the week . Just contact a decent gunsmith who has a competent stocker working for them . Wiseman’s at Cannock , Brian Webster , and The Woodworking Gunsmith at Thimbleby are just 3 that spring to mind that I’ve used . It worth getting it professionally repaired as it will knock hundreds off the value of your gun yet only cost a very modest sum to repair . Bear in mind that to go to anyone who is not a gunsmith for a repair you will have to take the stock off . You can’t leave a gun with a surfer dude !
