I got an 1895 in 1966 in about the same shape. I went by a construction job my Father was working on. One of the carpenters sort of twisted the crack open, put some good wood glue in it and let it go back together. It's holding up fine 67 years later. I've shot the gun a number of times
over the years and even killed a whitetail with it in 1967.


remember when repairing cracks with glue, don't over tighten, I use rubber bands (large size)

Interesting, I make sure it's held together very tight with medical rubber ( or whatever it's made of ) tubing. But I don't use wood glue. I haven't had any issues with repaired stocks this way but I like to learn new things. Why don't you want it as tight as you can get it with latex or rubber or whatever?
