Well this is the outcome of my attempt at trying to be a gunsmith. I over torqued the screws and broke the Boyd’s stock on my Savage 93R 17. New stock is on the way and I’m having a Smith bed and install it.

Well, I’ve never done that but I’ve done innumerable other stuff that I’d rather not go into right now.Comment

I gotta know how you did that!! Do you have a torque wrench?
Or did you just give her the ole “drunk gorilla with a breaker bar” approach

There’s lots more expensive lessons that teach the same thing! I was bought an old S&W 41mag that had a little surface rust on the trigger and hammer. I read that vinegar eats rust. So I puts some on and scrubbed and a little came off. I eventually got tired of scrubbing and decided I’d let it just soak for a couple hours in the vinegar. I came back and the hammer, trigger and all high carbon inside parts were gone. Just the stainless steel frame was left.
I went the opposite direction you’re going though and ordered all the tiny little parts and learned how to build a revolver. BUT I did learn not to leave vinegar on any metal lolComment

Spread the crack a little, let some epoxy flow into it, then clamp it tight. Little dremel work then install pillars and you are as good as new. It's a 17, not a 300 WinMag.Comment

There seems like a lot of ways that you could repair this damage, especially given how little stress that stock would sustain.Comment
