An internal cross bolt in a slot milled across the bottom of the stock is an easy fix to prevent possible cracks. Won't show on the outside but serves the same purpose.
I used a course threaded deck screw and epoxy.
This what I am planning on a near minty HVa I have with a crack in the web between the recoil lug and magazine well. Gun is too nice to be subjected to my raccoon fingers and lack of a milling machine ( for cleanly cutting the slot for the blind cross bolt) so will have a smith do it. Welcome any pointers or advice from those who have done this before.
