I need to fill a bolt handle cut in a stock blank I am using. I was going to fill the space with a walnut dowel and use tightbond III for glue. Any recomendations as to methods or materials would be appriciated

What is the stock? Ie is it on a antique or old military rifle? Do u want to retain it original appearance? Will u be refinishing the stock? Would need to know more before making a recommendation. Pics of the rifle would be great!!

It's just an old Fajan sporter semi inletted stock blank, I am putting a VZ-24 action with a .338-06 barrel in it. Appearance isn't all that important, the butter knife bolt handle covers the slot when it's closed.

File to fit paint to match. If the handle covers the notch just try to line the grain up and watch how the
patch takes the finish.
