If I had a rifle that I wasn't all attached too, I'd go ahead and cut it and try the C/A to see how it works. While I have no intention of telling a cabinet maker his trade, I'm thinking that the crayon isn't all that durable. And Rome, I apologize if this offends you, I'm just thinking that there is a better way.

As mentioned earlier, I haven't ever tried using C/A (and the "Hot Stuff" is all I have used) on a cut, however I've repaired a few...

Firthcpt, that's probably the route we'll end up taking on this one as well. We'd love to see a photo of your repair. I know you can probably still see the cut but it's also probably pretty well disguised by your repair. If you get a moment, can you post up a shot?

My 1917 from CMP had a razor cut to the stock. Everything else was VG. I thought about sending it back but it met the deescription for a service grade so I kept it and it turned out to be a great shooter. My solution to the razor cut was a furniture crayon to fill in the cut, they come in different shades from Lowes/Home Depot etc. It covered up the worst with a rub down of paste.

Don't worry! I'll share. I just had a question for him off forum. I know it's not polite to whisper in company!

Oh my. Someone opened that box with a razor knife. Stupid.

Let me think on this one and I'll get back to you with a solution.

I'd love to see a photo. Can you post one up? The suggestion I provide would be determined by how the stock looks and what's on it right now. I've handled those Kimbers. Nice find! If you have a hard time posting here, post to my email and I'll put it up for you.

I haven't tried it for a cut like that, but I've read that you can fill the cut/blemish with a good C/A glue and buff the surface with 0000 oilled steel wool to blend it in. I've used "Hotstuff" for several years and it's great for cracks. They always seem to blend quite nicely.

Any comments on how to deal with a razor cut down the side of a CMP Kimber model 82? I got lucky and was sent one with a cut that runs most of the entire side of the stock.
Can it be rubbed down? Filled in?

I know it could be sanded, but the cut is deep in a few spots. I will surely live with it as it is, time and hadling will smooth the sharpness, but I am curious to know if there are any remedies that will smooth it out without doing a total refinish. I like the color...
