Gunsmith or woodworker??
«

I have a custom made .257 Roberts my grandpa made. I was out shooting before the season almost 4 years ago and noticed that the stock was cracked on it! I have been hunting now for three years without it missed deer with my dads rifle I just don't have any confidence in any gun! Does anyone know a gunsmith or I have heard workers are good people to contact also. Anything helps the season is coming quick and I don't want to go another year without my gun.

It's not hard to fix yourself. Use wood glue and brass or stainless pins. People have also used epoxy and pins, I use JB weld and stainless pins, 1/32 in diameter threaded.
Don't want to do it yourself then a gunsmith would be the right person to go to.
You can also obtain a new stock for the season while that one you have is being fixed. You can probably obtain one for about $100 from

repairs may cost you that much

I'm sitting work right now I will take some pictures when I get home. It is cracked along the top of the stock that you place your shoulder on from the bolt back towards where my face sits I will post pics in a while. Thank you

This guy does some amazing work and from what I have heard his turn around time is great.

post a picture of the crack. You would be shocked at what superglue or a hidden staple can do. I have saved a couple myself that way.

Do you have a company name or a name of a good gunsmith?

He is not cheap or even in the middle, but you will be satisfied with his work. He is more than good.

I've doctored up a couple shotguns that had a small crack where the butt stock mates into the back of the receiver. I opened up the crack with a small V-shaped wood chisel. Filled this void with fiberglass cloth soaked with epoxy. Then I took a narrow strip of fiberglass cloth coated in epoxy and wrapped completely around narrow end of the stock.
After it hardened up I sanded it smooth.

12 gauge- not sure if that's directed at me. My repairs were done on a couple 12 gauge shotguns. One Beretta 302A the other a Remington Sportsmans 12.

The make of the actual gun is a Remington. The stock and everything all completely custom made. I have thought about going with a composite stick cause this gun is a tank and I'm am spent by the end of the trip from carrying a tree along with me.

Since its a remington you can likely find an aftermarket stock. You could pick out a cheep one while the wood is being fixed, or custom one to replace it.

Should I have a gunsmith take it apart and put the new one one while the wood is being repaired or is it something pretty easy to do?

You can switch stocks yourself and most of the stocks should be drop in. Look in the marketplace here and also check out Longrangehunting.com. You should be able to get a 5r takeoff for well under a hundred.
