Soooo, after my stock refurb, how I missed it don’t ask,
But my last shoot being ropey has now explained itself.
My no4 mk1 shot 1.5” group first time I shot it.
2nd time within 10” was difficult
I did a stock refurb, fitted a NGS scope mount and scope. Didn’t shoot it since but decided to strip it again to check the main screw bushing was correct length and noticed a crack in in of the draws.
Gave it a wiggle with a pick with the hope of re-adhesiving in situ.
The whole draw bolt handle side came loose. And separated from the stock.
What epoxy if any is worth an attempt. Before I replace the draw

I have no idea what the draw is. Totally confused by your post I have no idea what you are talking about.

Alpha's probably still coming around out of his cups. :)
I'm guessing you mean the area that the drawbolt passes through requires bolstering.
I've always found JB Weld is a very effective adhesive and filler.

I realise now how that reads. Apologies
Draws, as in where the recoil lugs ( can’t think what else to call them) bear upon the stock. It’s on the inside of the stock.

Hello
Interesting article updated what I thought I knew "but didn't" still my No4 and smle shoot very well, so suppose I won`t be stripping to make any adjustments

Yeah I think it was only because the muzzle pressure was odd to one side I thought to recheck it all.
Up pressure was fine And it shot amazing when I got it, but next
Time it was like it broke first shot.
Least there’s a reason now and I know it’s not just me

I repaired a CZ550 stock that had a crack underneath where the bolt handle sits. I drilled holes through the crack and put 3mm brass threaded rods into the holes. The rods had some Devcon on them and there was some in the holes as well. I also opened up the crack and put some Devcon inside.
I cut/filed away the rods when the Devcon was dry and as I oiled the stock I covered them thoroughly. They’re now nice and shiny and almost look like they’re meant to be there!
