Is there any possibility it is a take down as they made quite a few like that.Mine is made in 1910 and is a tight great shooting .303 which incidently was the gun of choice for all the maine guides around the turn of the century.They loved the caliber and it is a little hotter than the 30-30. There are people selling brass but it is exspensive,but it lasts and lasts. If I can find the link to the .303 brass I will pm you with the details. If you epoxy the stock,wash the crack out with a couple cans of carb cleaner to remove the oil and then acetone later to remove any residue.Plain old gumout works good for drying oil out of gunstocks and acetone leaves nothing behind .Let it air out for a few days and then try gluing it up.I have done quite a few of stocks like this and it works like a charm. By the way wash it outside or you could be overcome by the fumes.Be careful and stay away from any flame or cigarette. Be careful.
