Hi, I recently purchased an early Red Ryder with a very damaged stock.
It had 4 wood staples and 4 nails in it, Please see photo. I had to remove all of this metal and glue and clamp everything together, adding a little wood filler where needed, and stain and refinish last. This took at least 2 hours so it is impractical to do for a $20 stock, but if you had a family heirloom, it may be worth it. It is not perfect by any means and I am not a professional, so most of you will do much better. If anyone would like step by step directions, I would be honored to help. Thank you and regards, gkenny. http://imgur.com/a/vlsK5

Unbelievable the difference! I don't know if I'd have even attempted to fix it, let alone have it come out so great!!
