Four Military Surplus Rifle Stock Repairs

Here are four military surplus rifles that all have one thing in common, they all have repaired stocks. To be specific, whole replacement sections have been grafted on to existing stocks. This was done either to fix a broken stock, or to restore a cut down, or sporterized, stock back to it's original configuration. Two repairs were done on the front end of the stocks and two on the rear. Though repair techniques differ on each stock, the common theme is to create as large as a surface area for the glue as possible. This increases the joint's strength, and thus it's longevity. The oldest of these repairs was done in 2010, the newest in 2021, but all have held up perfectly fine over the years.
