remove stock from gun for access to interior, drill small diameter holes from head of stock inside tang or receiver mortise, and have holes deep enough to intersect cracks, use favorite full strength epoxy, apply glue into holes with close-fitting small hardwood dowel stock bought at local hardware store. pump glue into holes using dowel as plunger until glue oozes out of full length of crack and then leave dowel stuck in hole. firmly clamp up stock or use rubber bands if strong enough. wipe off excess and allow to fully cure several days. trim off protruding dowel with pocket knife, apply oil or finish to exposed dowel ends to seal.
