Default Cracks in a beaver tail...

Hi all, was shooting my Pachmyr GHE a few months ago, and afterwards I noticed a few splits/cracks in its beaver tail forend. Been shooting appropriate loads in it. I have to believe this happens often with old guns, and questionable storage practices before it came into my hands. So, (1) looking for some advice on what to do with it to repair it, and (2) who might be able to also create me a splinter forend for it. Pictures below.

But my thoughts on repair, include either sending it someone to perform the repair, or more likely, I'd think I can remove the metal and use some kind of epoxy or glue on the backside of the cracks. But not sure which type/brand would be best, any thoughts?

Ideas? Thoughts? Recommendations? On both repairing, and finding someone to build me a splinter forend?

Acriglas? Acriglas gel? Hide glue? And then, I assume a very light clamp so as to not "fold in" and expand or make the crack worse.
