Gunsmiths - Advise, please.
I'm refurbishing my SKS stock and found this crack.
What's the best way to seal/repair this so that the repair won't show after I stain and seal the stock? . I used a spanner to open the crack to show it better. . Also, is True Oil a good final coat on a stock? . Thanks for any advice. . Edit: Then again, I have boiled linseed oil and maybe I'll try the master's way. . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzVdsln29o8 .  .  .

Squirt some super glue gel in there, press it closed tight, wipe off excess.
SKS should be entirely utilitarian. Clear laquer in a rattle can OR applied with a paintbrush. Maybe stain first, depending. For a "correct" finish, it depends on where your SKS was made...

Don, it's an SKS. You refinish it any way you want and I'll trade you for one w/o cracks.

Thanks, boys.
It's a Chinese Norinco 56, BTW. So, doing any of the suggested, the bonding agent(s) will take on the stain? . I know, it's not like it's a collector's piece...just am into this and want it to look good. The original finish looked orange-ish and as if it was painted on w/a broom.  All clumpy and full of debris. But damn!, now that it's stripped, this stock is virgin. I'll proceed. .

I would clamp it first to make sure the crack closes all the way. After that a little superglue (I use the liquid not the gel as it flows a little deeper into the crack) and clamp again until it sets. Either use lacquer or tung oil for the finish.
