Dental floss is handy what for smearing glue and E Poxy in your crack.

I looked at the gun my closely this evening. The crack is looooong. From the fore end to almost the trigger guard. I may take the screws out tomorrow and just see what happens.

I really appreciate your comments!!!
Wood glue may be the weapon of choice then. Like Japhy, I've used a lot of Titebond for a lot of things, and the generous work time is nice, as is the ability to clean up the squeeze out with a wet rag. If you can wedge open the crack enough that you can use a finger to squeegee glue in from the barrel channel side until it starts to flow out the bottom, you'll be set to clamp the beejeezus out of it.

It looks like a nice piece of walnut, & I've seen successful salvage ops on far worse.
WWJMBD?

I believe we should stand on Ceremony. . . while our friends handcuff the sanctimonious little prick and take him away.

Ask big Al. He’s the one that shared about flossing your crack IIRC.

Don't forget the surgical tubing to wrap it with.
