Was attending the Kit Carson rendezvous when a younger guy approached me and asked me about repairing his muzzleloader for him. He said he fell during a hunt and CRACK! The wrist blew out pretty seriously. He finished the hunt by using duct tape and even took a muley on the hunt. Its been almost 2 years and so I offered to take a look at it and after seeing it, saw it saw a nice clean split, no splintering or run off cracks. So I took it home and tonight, opened up the crack with a wedge and worked in a ton of high strength ( 150k psi ) epoxy and then clamped the stock together and wiped off the excess epoxy. I found that I can install a longer tang screw and suck the wood together from the top, and then I'll hit the bottom section of the stock with a hidden screw under the trigger. Once all the work is done, I'll rough up the stock a little bit and add some thicker layers of truoil around the cracks to help fill in any sharp edges that may be left over. Once that is taken care of, I'll buff the complete stock and apply a few hand rubbed coats of oil finish into the wood. I do have to remove some old bedding around the tang and open up the wood a little. Right now, you have to use a small hammer in order to install/remove the tang and that is just to damn tight. Also, when I install the bottom ( hidden ) screw, It will then be filled with epoxy and then screwed in for good.
