Sir, I originally came here looking for instructions on simply cleaning my type 99 without disturbing original finish. While this video does touch on cleaning grime, I found myself paying attention to every word due to your method of explanation and wealth of knowledge. Im glad I came across your videos. THANK YOU!
When gluing cracks like that I've found that using my fingers as a tool to force glue in works better than any tool, then using air to blow into the tightest ones. Great videos, each and every one 👍
I found your channel looking for reloaded information This Arisaka repair was a bonus as I am restoring a 7.7 my dad brought back from WWII I sporterized it in my young and dumb days I’m restoring it to how he had it
Great vids! Medical rubber tubing works great for wrapping a stock and keeps a ton of pressure on it, nice thing vs the tape is that there's no adhesive on it to get on the stock. The tape is fine on a stock you're going to strip anyway, but sometimes on a stock you're trying to keep the finish on, the tape leaves adhesive behind and is hard to clean off without damaging the finish.
I have never had to repair a stock before this but now have a crack in the butt stock of my Marlin 39A. Lol, when glueing wood in the past I have been far too careful to avoid making a mess. Does my heart good to see glue dripping all over the place, so maybe my repair will actually hold together now for the .3 ft-lbs of recoil! From a loyal subscriber in TX, Mr. GunBlue, thank you so much and please keep up the good work.
Thanx for the great video. I watched all three parts as if I was in school. I got a lot out of this tutorial. Also, I liked your sweatshirt. I live about an hour away from Central Grocery in the French Quarter, New Orleans. And yes....they’ve got one of the best muffulettas in the city.
I repair furniture now and then using the same method if glue and pressure. The compressed air can also be used to force the glue deep into cracks. A short burst is enough. I've even syphoned up a drop of glue in the spray tube and shot it into a hole. Give it a shot, might be just the thing to finish a job right.
Very nice videos, I wondered if lacquer thinner would be ok to use instead of acetone? I was glad to see at the end of the work you did not try to refinish the stock or reblue the medal. It seems to me that the main value in these old military rifles is keeping them as battlefield mementos and not to modify them in an attempt to make them look new. Good job.
Hello, Ive watched almost all your videos. Very nice presentations. I see all your firearms and love the deep rich dark bluing which they all mostly have. Maybe a new video? Thanks your like having a good friend.
I just want to tell you that you are a treasure trove of knowledge and I LOVE your channel. This series on restoring this old war horse is AWESOME. Thank you for all the hard work. Subbed a few weeks ago and listen as I ride up and down the highways and byways dragging around a flatbed. This morning I wanted to watch and let you know how much I appreciate the videos. I have my own channel and know how big a pain it is to set up, film, and edit the videos together.
There are much easier and more effective ways to restore the wooden bits. Spreade the cracks use a paint brush and blow the glue into the spaces (blow it through a straw or use it bit of compressed air). You can really cut down the amount of glues you are using just to get squeeze out. Also surgical tubing is elastic and wraps round unevenly shaped parts. It can be tightened and tied to hold glued joints together. Just a bit of crossover from the world of luthiers to the world of gunsmiths. They don't often align. Lots of violin and guitar repair techniques deal with more complicated breaks requiring finer finishing than this. They are childs play for these applications.
That looks awesome. You no that mineral spirit and the oil. And the gun cleaner clp. It’s the same thing with the unscented hunting detergent. They just put a diff label on it and charge more. I just buy all unscented soap now and wash my hunting clothes
@@GunBlue490.... Not finding fault. You were struggling with what to call it. I happen to be an artist, and I knew...so I told you.... nothing ill intended.

Surgical tubing works great for clamping gun stocks while gluing together.
Yes I've used that, too. Electrical tape works the same, is cheaper and found anywhere.

If glue isn't dripping from the joint, you'll have a dry joint that will fail. Thanks for watching! Good luck with your 39-A.

A small suction cup pumped up and down on the flats will push the glue into the cracks.they use this method repairing guitars.
Very interesting video, thanks. By the way, the glue you used will make the crack as firm as the wood itself?
A syringe with a large opening or maybe even some sort of pastry bag with a fine tip would allow you to get that glue precisely where you want it
Syringe worked well on my old steyer carbine. Lot of fun working on that. Other steyer has never been fired. Great videos though.

I use compressed air to drive glue into cracks.
How long did you let the metals soak in the mineral spirits?
"If this would be on my grill it would be a grill cleaner"...classic.
非常的 精彩和仔细。。真的 很棒

It is called a pallet knife.
Yes. You must be happy that you found some fault in my effort to help you. Thanks.

You can use the canned air to blow the glue into small cracks
Actually, I did that, which I thought I caught on camera, or at least intended to.
That stock is trash
