My rifle has a narrow but not hairline crack on the top of the neck of the stock directly behind the receiver cover. The crack is about 1 1/4 inch long and parallels the grain.It extends into the inletting at the rear of the action about 1/4 inch from the surface of the stock. It has become more apparent the more cosmoline I remove.

Can someone offerr suggestion on repair? I planned to kep the stock finish original, but can refinish if necessary. TNX

You could use stainable wood filler then solar lux stain and it should blend it in.

My Garand has the same thing, it was pinned at some point and time at the armory

I have seen some military gun stocks repaired with using dowels and glue then sand them flush with the stock. I use gorrilla glue if the stock is clean and dry of oils.
