How to fix split piece of wood in stock at tang?

[snoeproe]

Not a design flaw. Most stock splits can be attributed to a less than perfect fitment between the stock and the receiver, or poor grain structure in the wood itself.

Or by someone dropping the firearm.
I’ve got 2 old 99’s. Both 300 savage. One made in 41 the other made in 59. Neither have ever split or cracked.
