Greetings All,
Due to a cracked stock, I was forced to replace the stock on my Winchester Model 70 XTR Featherweight in 30.06 several years ago.
I was lucky enough to find a replacement stock and the switch was made. Now years later, being a thrifty New Englander, I decided to try to repair/glue the original cracked stock.
There was a stabilizing screw in the original stock covered by a black plastic plug. Apparently that plug was removed and now I need to replace it.
I have searched online and checked several firearm parts suppliers without success.
Wondering if anyone here has run into this situation and can direct me to somewhere where I can purchase a replacement.
I have considered using a wooden plug but not being able to sand it flush with the existing stock surface without hurting the gloss finish could prove difficult.
