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.
