It's worth a try to fix

Thanks for the advice on fixing it myself. Honestly, that's a bit beyond my abilities, I believe.
That is certainly your call but it would not be all that hard to fix or stabilize. Regardless, unless you touch up the finish along the crack, it will always show. I fixed and even uglier crack/cracks on one of my buddies shotguns and it' still in service. Now, he too had doubts about a fix and before I finished the process, he bought a replacement and just waiting for the old one, to give out. That was about three seasons ago

I just like the idea of being able to salvage a stock that would be cast aside. You may develop additional cracks because of the weak grain pattern but not at the current crack location. ......

Be Safe !!!
