Title: Re: New member intro and question. Post by madsenshooter on Feb 25th, 2014 at 3:24am
I repaired one that was almost identical, myself. One hole had already been drilled by someone, right in the P proof mark, and a screw put in. So I just drilled a couple more holes, countersinking them so that I could later put wooden plugs over the heads of the brass screws. Next I mixed up some thin clear epoxy and used a syringe to inject the epoxy through the holes until it flowed out the crack. Then I tightened the screws, cleaned the excess epoxy off and put my wood plugs over the screwholes. It ought to be good for another 100yrs. That's what I'd do if I were you. Take your time and you'll hardly be able to tell it was repaired. Yours is a bit longer than mine, you might need screws from the bottom near the front and from the top near the rear.
