Re: M27 stock
That's it? That's all we get to see? Need to see side views of the butt stock at a minimum. None of my M27s have that hole.

Oh Jeeeze! I thought that black stuff was cosmoline.
Re: M27 stock
I thought I had read somewhere that they would take plugs from that area to address cracks in stocks etc. I could be wrong though.

Not cosmoline on Finns. More like graphite grease. First time you take a stock apart and grab the barrel you won't do it again. Gets everywhere. As for hole yes I believe that is where plugs were taken from for expedient repairs.Robertroadking wrote:Oh Jeeeze! I thought that black stuff was cosmoline.

Re: M27 stock
Mechanically I can’t figure how you could cut a plug from there, if you used a hole saw you couldn’t cut it loose at the bottom.

Re: M27 stock
Yes, those would cut a plug, but you would have to saw the stock in half to free the plug.
Re: M27 stock
Plugs can be removed with chisel or screwdriver, but tapered wood plug cutter would be better.Robertroadking wrote:Yes, those would cut a plug, but you would have to saw the stock in half to free the plug.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
