The more I look at it the better your proposal looks. The break is really far from the breech and aligning, clamping tight, and drilling through that slanted break could be iffy for me. Another variation similar to your dowel suggestion is to inlet and glue in a fat straight grained hardwood slab up from the underside of the wrist to within half an inch of the top of the wrist. Success depends on a great glue job at the break.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.
Oh ! Repair it bud ! Its not difficult ... That thing is beautiful ! Ive done it many times to gun with similar tragic stories . If your unsure how to do it or anything like that PM me ... You can call me we'll chat about it . When its fixed youll have to.point it out to folks when your telling the story about the break ... Youll hardly see it if you do at all ...First day out with gun and dropped it out of a treestand. Wrist broke (see pic), I think I can repair it as far as ability but not sure it i should or just order a new stock.
