Problem McMillan A5 Stock on Savage Rifle

[Snipers]

I took my rifle apart today because I thought the accuracy had diminished (but still pretty good). I noticed that the rear screw hole was cracked right down the middle of the rifle from the magazine well back to the trigger area and it’s all the way through. I guess I had over tightened the rear screw without knowing it.

Is this repairable with glass bedding compound? If it were the front screw I know the stock would be “cooked”, but I’m not sure about the rear area being repairable.

Why not call McMillan and see what they say. From talking to them on the phone, the were very helpful and accommodating.

I would recommend that you let us repair it. Send me a pm TCW when you get the chance.

This is one reason why I prefer Aluminum bedding block stocks.
