Came into possession of a Mossberg 185D. Shoots great and such.
Two issues:
1. There's a crack running four inches down the side of the stock where the screw sits. How can I repair that?
2. Also, have had a mutha of a time finding a magazine to fit the thing. Bought one that was close but didn't feed. Any suggestion so where to go for that would be useful.

Do you have a rifle and a four-wheel drive?

If you are just looking to repair it then you can take the stock off, and use wood glue and clamps. The bond between wood and glue will have more strength than the wood itself had. I have actually done this to a couple of different weapons through the years with pretty good results. Now I also ended up sanding the stocks down and refinishing them so the new joint wasn't nearly as noticeable. Otherwise you will need to take it to a professional gunsmith.
There is one other option if you just want to get a new one http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/
As far as the clips go I would imagine that you can just search it on teh ebays and come up with one.

Wow, that's an unusual gun. Your best bet might be repairing it as it is not a gun with collector value. I don't know if anyone makes composite stocks for it but that would be my first choice for replacement, otherwise a wood stock will probably run you around $70-$90. For the mags, you best bet is just start hitting the interwebs or calling local gunsmiths or shops.
