K98k stock repair?

Here's the recoil lug

No one???

Well, if the crack can be spread, I'd recommend gluing it with a good quality glue. I have my favorite, but others will chime in with theirs.

If it can't be spread (or you don't want to risk breaking the stock), I vaguely recall a member either here or on another forum who used vacuum to suck the glue into the thin crack. I was fixing a cracked shotgun stock at the time, and I ended up enlarging the crack with a hacksaw until I reached the end and then gluing it. That method worked great, but left a long brown line after sanding. Held up to this day.

Hugh Clark or Jim Solomon or Dave Parker here might have some good ideas.

But...How oil soaked is the stock??? I've patched/spliced Enfield and Argentine Mauser stocks but I needed to soak them pretty well in lacquer thinner, repeatedly, before gluing.
