Dylan, post a better photo of the split. That would help. In your initial post you state the visible split to be 1/4 to 1/2 inch in length. Big difference. Can you be more precise? 1/2" in length is unlikely to be a minor grain check. The only way to tell is to separate the frame from the wood and closely examine the inletting behind the top tang. If you do not have experience and the proper screw bits to fit the Parker slots do not attempt this on your own. Separating a Parker stock is not exactly straightforward. You can find a 'how to' in the FAQ of this forum. Take it to an experienced Parker gunsmith. Buggering a screw slot is an incredibly easy task. Good luck.
