Repair or replace

[Gtrubicon]

If it were me, I’d do both. I would repair the broken stock to use as my hunting stock. I’d also buy a new one and finish it just so I know I have it if needed.

Sorry this happened. Makes ya sick! Above advice is very good, regarding threaded rod, epoxy. It’s good to stain the broken surfaces very lightly with diluted stain because it sucks it up like crazy. Let that dry at least 24 hours before fixing the break. I’d do a dry run and make sure you can get the threaded rod in AND align and clamp the broken edges well. Then add the epoxy to the equation. You only get one shot at it. I put scotch tape on the stock in the area being worked on to within 1/16” of the break. Then any dripped epoxy zips right off. In addition to clamping I wrap the whole thing with slit strips of bicycle inner tubes stretched tightly. Leave at least 12 hours to cure before unclamping and cleaning things up. Best of luck!

The epoxy and threaded rod is a very good solution however if you have a problem with drilling a relatively long hole then after you glue the break drill from under the trigger guard and fit, say three, hardwood dowels [being very careful not to drill the holes out the top
Don’t know where it came from but no stock maker worth his salt would layout across the grain like that, unless it was an outstanding piece of figured wood,, and then he’d reinforce it before sale and tell the prospective buyer.

I would drill from underneath the trigger guard and put the rod and epoxy in from their just my 2 cents
