Loctite 420 is used to fix cracked wooden bow risers without any additional screws or pins. I've never had a riser break with a loctite repair, so an air gun wouldn't have any issues. You did a nice job.
Me just being me would have fitted the clamps then drilled through the top I to the portion of sound wood (saving the sawdust), taken it apart and fitted a glued wooden dowel, a screw would weaken it in my opinion. Then glued (Cascemite) and clamped it. Using the sawdust and wood glue fill the top of the dowel hole and refinish the whole stock (just me and my OCD). With the OEM fitting that should be enough to give it back 90% + of it's original strength. I did one very similar about 10 years ago and it is fine to this day. Can't even see the join but I fully refinished the stock. What you have done for your purposes is perfectly acceptable but it just made me shudder taking out that back piece. Glad you decided to strip it all back though. Done my way it could just have easily been finished with a small Beech plug.
My s200s are usually sat in some mad custom stocks but I thought it would be fun to see what I can come up with based around a modified factory stock. The repair is certainly not of the highest order but I wanted to do it with limited tools and keep the cost an absolute minimum. Thanks for watching 😀
Good white wood glue repairs have been tested to be stronger than the wood, which means if that break was just glued and clamped if you tried to break the stock it would break somewhere else.
Cant believe you've still got the s200. I can remember you rat shooting in my red golf at the stables with it going from one window to the other so easy due to how small it is.
"where's me Mallet ?" Finds adjustable Spanner :) Great project to see. If ever you get a chance and suitable doner stock, the AA Ultimate Sporter / HFT 500 laminate stock seems to get a similar break in them and I guess many folk would benefit from seeing how you'd fix one
You can't tell me you've never used a spanner as a hammer... 😆 Funnily enough I've not seen a snapped hft500 in ages. Last year there was a few floating about but recently ?
Having watched the first 2 mins with a hobbiest wood butcher. He yelled easy. He suggested using a long 1 inch wooden dowel vertical thru the grip glued in place then redrill the diagonal action screw
@@tillysgunstocks I got a question for a master! Is drilling/installing sling studs on a break barrel (synthetic stock...wich is not that thick) a bad idea?
@@LowkeyAirgunner no its not a problem. Best bet is a barrel clamp type front sling mount. And for the rear use a machine threaded stud and a nut and washer on the inside the stock.. It's likely hollow .whip the butt pad off and have a nose. They are best drilled with one of them little tapered burrs and a dremel type tool. Just don't let it get too hot.
@@tillysgunstocks I got a cheap stud pack from amazon and they do not have nuts to put on the other side If the stock is thick enough, Do you think I could use this and not worry about them coming out? Thats my main fear
The 200 does feel a little dated now compared a lot of modern guns but there's just something I love about them. I dont think I've ever met anyone who wasn't surprised just how accurate they are.
I have never seen a more disgusting job than this. Do not leave screws drowned in the wood. The screws are subject to oxidation and therefore over time it means rust. The wood absorbs humidity and sooner or later it reaches the screw. It just had to be attached with wood glue and then create dowels of the same wood on both sides of the stock. I fix guitars especially broken necks, I would never dream of fixing them with screws.

Very impressive repair, young man 😁

Great work and an interesting project 👍 looking forward to the next video
Quite nice and an interesting project. I am looking forward to your results.

I broke the stock on my TC Hawken, I used two dowels and wood glue it worked very well.

Great video I really enjoyed it, going to go find the rest of the series now. Thanks for sharing
That's a brilliant repair.
Excellent. Looking forward to the next stage 👍
I'm designing some jigs made from scraps for the rest of the build 😉

Yes mate you can never have less than 2 s200s in the collection.. 😆

This is brilliant
that is a fairly simple repair i would say the thru screw was loose and it got banged or dropped
Pretty impressive repair!
I cannot do that 😅
Hopefully in time after watching more of my videos I'll be able to get you inspired and confident enough to have a go 😉

If the stock is thick enough,

Nice one, a great repair😁 a good 200 is very hard to beat I've shot a couple that are as good as anything 😀
I've got a couple of them, this one I've had from new. It's super accurate, itl be fun to put it against my target rifles when it's built up.
😀
8mm drill all the way thru glue clamp with a hardwood dowel re drill the original bolt hole clamp it done not hard at all
Just buy a replacement stock?
Shame the AA s200 is no longer for sale , a mk 4 would of been nice with all the mods gauge Q/fill threaded barrel reg laminate stock .
Yes I know about the cz 200 colour

a modern 2 part epoxy would do the trick without all the drilling BS. Then sold it on as a mint rifle
