    Stevens Savage Model 22-410

    My dad just passed this down to me to eventually leave to my boy. Pretty neat little combo. The stock is tenite and is cracked pretty bad and needs replaced. I cannot seem to find any tenite stocks on the webs. I would just go walnut and be done with it, but my dad is for some reason in love with the old plastic. Any ideas for sourcing a replacement?

    I would say go with a walnut and get it shooting again. That plastic will be from that era and is probably slowly degrading anyway if you can even find one.. Just keep the plastic stock for the future value.

    Wikii › Tenite

    Tenite is not a durable plastic. Objects manufactured from Tenite slowly deform and warp over decades eventually rendering the products unusable

    Yeah, this is what I originally wanted to do. The ol man just thinks tenite is the cats @$$ for some reason.

    In perfect condition, the tenite stock will probably make the rifle worth a premium to the right person. But not cracked stock one. Good Luck finding one

    Suggestion:
    Buy a replacement walnut stock for use.

    Use a high quality epoxy and surgical tubing/clamps to repair the Tenite stock for cosmetic purposes. The Tenite can be relieved inside and reinforced with welding rod, etc., to add strength. The subsequent repair will be faint, but reasonably strong. It will at minimum reduce further spread of the existing fracture.

    I've considered attempting to epoxy it to try it out. What and how do you reinforce with welding rod? Replacement forearm and stock are $215, oof.

    This one will never be sold. Even though its nothing super special, once it hits my sons hands, it'll be the 4th generation of pass down.

    Use a Dremel, or similar, to mill small slots perpendicular to the crack. Layer on epoxy, lay strips of welding rod, etc., in the slots and then clamp/reinforce the joint until the epoxy cures.
    It's like laying rebar in a concrete pour. Fiberglass mesh, anything that can add strength and stabilize the joint.

    We've rednecked plastic intake manifolds, cam covers, etc., like this to keep a test engine running.

    I've reinforced cracked wood stocks with epoxy and brass screws through the crack. Saw the screws off, trim flush, polish, and they look like small brass pins. You can antique the brass to help it blend into the wood too.

    Note: Gunsmiths will be losing their minds about now. I am a redneck hack, who has learned how to cobble most anything. I am sure others can offer better solutions and I defer to their better judgment.

    Nothing wrong with a little cobble work here and there!
