I believe Brian's point was not that it couldnt be repaired, just that its not worth the time vs restocking. I have just been through this with a stock that was in better (but not much better) shape. I learned a lot and enjoyed some cabin fever relief but the time involved was sobering and Ive learned i might have been better off restocking from a duplicated blank. If the repair doesnt hold, ill really be kicking myself.
Regarding a new stock, If youre looking for a gun to use, consider the value of a custom fit stock. You may never recoup the cost in dollars from a collector but that doesnt mean its not worth it ever.
