depending on your woodworking skills, I would gently wedge the cracks open ( very slightly ) this is where you skill level comes in. I generally use epoxy resin to glue the cracks ( this leaves almost no visible lines). The biggest failure of a repair seems to be the years of gun oil that have soaked the wood. It's hard for glues to bond to oil. There is a solvent they use for removing the oil, but I can't think of it right now.
