Well, you sure has heck did a nice job of glueing it back together! I'll bet you excercised your military vocabulary when you broke it.LOL.
I have to be perfectly honest here. I had a gunsmith glue the Miroku back together and I can still see where it cracked, but she is not opening up again. I had a smith do it because the gun has that hard plastic finish and I was concerned that I'd chip it.
I have, however; glued several cracked gunstocks back together and they seem to be holding up okay and in some of them you can't see where they cracked. The trick is how you secure the stock after the glue is applied. (I usually use epoxie, but I've used Elmers too.) I have a set of spring loaded clamps that grip hard and I let it setup for several days.
Works for me.
