1910 stock bedding
#391620 - 18/05/25 12:09 PM

I have just purchased a 1910 takedown rifle and have a couple of questions on the stock bedding. The recoil lug barely has any contact at the rear surface and only at the top, about 1/16" at most. Primary recoil surface contact is at the rear of the magazine box, well fit but has a hairline crack in the web between the mag box and the trigger mortise. I can fix the bedding at the recoil lug.
My question. Has anyone ever put a crossbolt in the web area to support the additional recoil bearing surface of the magazine box? I'm not talking hidden but all the way through with the screw heads on the outside of the stock. Unorthodox maybe but this is a 100 YO rifle and would like the stock to go another 100. Comments appreciated.

For what it's worth, I would be talking hidden if it was mine. I think an exposed crossbolt would look out-of-place on a Mannlicher, especially a takedown, but you could stick a couple of black .22 target patches on the stock to see what it looks like!

If the recoil lug has 1/16" contact already, maybe a Devcon solution would suffice.

I picked up a stock for my 1910 takedown. It was cracked through the wrist, after repairs I glass bedded a hidden recoil lug to help take up some of the recoil. So far it has worked out. I used a 1/2 inch square piece of steel 3/4 inch long.

I have a pretty good idea already how I am going to rectify this. Mostly wondering out loud. Lots of old guns out there with all kinds of unseen repairs to keep them going. Thanks all for the replies.

One last comment. It appears the primary recoil surface is actually the rear mag box based on the increased surface area involved and the tight bedding. That little square recoil lug looks more like a secondary surface to me. If you look at a properly bedded Mauser the rear of the mag box is bedded hard against the wood adding to the surface area to absorb recoil. If the small square lug was bedded hard it looks like a stock splitter, not enough surface area to do much good. Also all the force is directed to a small area with the least amount ot support. Mauser is relieved in the middle to spread forces laterally and down the side rails. I’ll get pictures posted of before and after hopefully in the next couple or weeks. Thank you all for your input.
