I have quite a few target shotguns come into my shop and I strongly recommend that any crack you can see be repaired at once. These are guns doing 10,000 shots per year and a crack WILL break the entire stock. A young guy came into the shop with a 3 piece Kolar stock, Kolar wanted 3000 for a used stock. I fixed it for $40 and 3 years later it is still going. All the trauma could have been avoided if he had stopped early and fixed it.

A problem we have in the northland involves fluctuating humidity and temperature levels, which tends to amplify problems with wood. I guess I'd keep an eye on it, and decide what to do, or, not do, based on that observation.
I have a little crack on my Remington model 17 in the area where the trigger guard meets the stock. It has been there since I bought the gun 40 years ago, and may have been there long before that, and while it hadn't gone anywhere, I did glass bed the head of the stock a few years ago.
I've also seen catastrophic failure of a butt stock from a crack that had been little, but, decided it wanted to go big time.

Best,
Ted
