Have a 32 Cherokee; metal's near perfect, stock is cracked and held together with Crazy Glue (remember that?). Is there anyone who can (and is willing to) make, fit and finish a new stock for this rifle? The dimensions and inletting can duplicate TC's.

Don't really need it (it's a plinker and shoots light loads) but like the rifle and think it deserves a good piece of wood. Something tougher and heavier than walnut would be OK.
 
Call Pecatonica River or Tiger Hunt, if anyone will know who does one of them will know.

If you decide to go for a duplicate Cherokee stock, I would choose nothhern hard sugar maple with as straight of a grain pattern through the wrist as the wood supplier could find.

In addition, if you are going to spend the money to restock the Cherokee, then I would really, really, really consider having the tang modified & lengthened so as to provide full wrist support for the weakest part of the Cherokee's stock. This would be the same principal as an original Hawken rifle where the long beavertail tang was double bolted to the extra-long trigger bar of the Hawken style doubleset triggers.

The second tang bolt towards the comb of the stock will substantially strengthen the wrist. In essence, what you are doing is to "pinch", or "squeeze", or "clamp" the weak wrist of the stock between two pieces of steel; utilizing the tang, the trigger bar, and the two tang bolts.
