For those, glass in a pillar in the rear screw hole, glass the tang, recoil lug and front screw. That will do a permanent fix as the crack is caused by the action moving in the stock on recoil. Gorilla glue spackled on top will not fix the problem.


I am afraid if I take it out of the stock or get to a smith and do it, it won’t be repairable as I want to keep it original. Although what you’re saying, I definitely would feel safer with doing it the way you explained. It didn’t look that deep when I took a magnifying glass to it, but underneath I’m not sure. I appreciate your help!
