Is epoxy better than Accraglass for this. Or even Gorilla glue

Acraglass is epoxy. Gorilla glue would not be a good choice.

I received a very early hammerless Parker years ago in two pieces with a failed gorilla glue repair at the head and checkering beginning of the stock.The gun was so nice otherwise I repaired it with acraglass and some hidden ss pins.Then I touched up the checkering and hid the repair with dark staining and refinished the stock.That 10 gauge still is together with its origional stock.

Brian, do you prefer the regular accraglass or the gel type.

Both are epoxy products. Regular acraglass is very thin. I personally never really cared for the gel. Maybe I just got a bad batch. I know they had issues with that in the past.

The most successful crack repair I have ever attempted was done with Titebond II. The wrist was badly cracked longitudinally. The crack is no longer visible and has held strong for some 8-9 years now.
Before: ![]() That crack is now no longer visible after gluing and a light sanded in refinish of the affected area. I bought the stock in the damaged condition from Bazil Slaughter to replace a target buttstock that came on my FAIR Verona LX692 28/410 combo. |

Considering the expansion of Gorilla Glue I’d think you’d be dealing with some pretty significant cleanup, etc., if you used it. Also IMHO the glue line would be very prevalent. That’s my experience when using it although I’ve never used it on a gunstock.
My nephew used Titebond on his A5 forend that broke in half but it didn’t hold. The last time I hunted with him his repair with black electrician’s tape was still holding
