Need some help here. I stripped the finish off of my old '59 BSA Royal Featherweight 30-06. This uncovered a pretty bad crack. I was wondering if I can repair it or should this stock be "for display only". The pics show where the crack runs from the top and bottom of the tang area and runs to the back of the magazine well. It's a pretty bad crack, structurally speaking, because I can pull it open with my hands. It concerns me because it's a really thin stock and this is a heavy recoiling rifle. I ran a bead of Gorilla Glue along the action portion of the crack. After it set I used adremel to clean of the excess. It feels a little stronger, but I seriously doubt it will hold up to recoil.
