Nice gun, nice wood for the grade. Was enlarging the picture. Kind of looks like they may have glued/glassed that area before the refinish? Can you feel the crack with a fingernail?

In the case of that sort of repair where it is a clean crack and the piece can be glued back in, the joint cannusually be sucked tighter together to make the joint less visible than that. But it will still be visible to some extent. Especially in this case where the crack is in the opposite direction of the grain.
Which is also a head scratcher here for me as to why it broke like that since it does not go with the grain. At this point, it kind of is what it is.

That’s a great piece of wood on that side. In the first pic it looks like the lines of the stock and lines of the frame don’t match up. Maybe it’s the lighting.

Nice piece of wood I would leave everything as is . If the stock was taken off to refinish that could have been when the crack happened. I have installed 100’s of recoil pads in 35+ yrs never had to refin a stock back in the day I would grind the pad on the stock then one day I discovered a recoil pad jig . My life was changed for ever . Lol
