Broken plastic stock repair
Is this repairable?

Of course! If you are good with epoxy. This can be done but it will always look broke. Or you could do it like I do and use tie wire and duct tape. Big Grin

Thats the hard part. I think I am going to have Northwood Gunstocks duplicate it in wood. I can not find anyone that makes a new synthetic other than MPI and I am not sure about them. I was hoping to find a takeoff wood or synthetic from another Model M but who knows where they may be.

Sorry, can't help with possible repair of your stock. I thought I'd add that this location is not unheard of for a Steyr-Mannlicher or a Mannlicher-Schoenauer stock to break. Reason: because of the relative width of the rotary magazine, the stock "wall" over the magazine well is held pretty thin. Weak point on those rifles, sadly.

I figure even if I have to have a stock made I am way ahead with the price I paid for this one. I have had a MIII and another regular Professional and I have regretted selling both. they are great guns and very accurate.
