An update on the stock repair, the guy has had the gun back for a few months now and has been out shooting pigeons and clays, it's all still in one piece so seems to have worked a treat.
The split went from the head, back through the wrist pin hole and finished in the safety cut out in the stock, it was an oily bit of wood and one small piece had dropped out . A good de grease over a few days with Mek solvent via a syringe so it went only where needed and then plenty of the glue was worked in by opening and closing the break, aided with cotton to draw it right into the tight bits . It was clamped up (not over tight as this squeezes too much glue out) and left out of harms way for the best part of a week.
Looks like it worked just fine. Clean up was easy too.
I'm giving the Titebond 111 the big thumbs up and the gun's owner is happy.
Great result. If he doesn't forget and jam some 2 & 3/4 shells in it again, I reckon it'll be fine smile

P.S. I can't post pictures sorry, well out of date system on my phone unfortunately.

Thanks for the follow-up report Nick. I'm glad to hear it seems to be working well. I'm curious about how invisible or detectable the repaired crack is with the Titebond III. The attribute I liked best about the Titebond II, aside from the great strength, was that repairs were often undetectable in a clean split or closely fitted and grain matched joint.

Hi Keith, the repair was hidden but the glue set quite clear, maybe a bit of a milky tint to it. I wouldn't be surprised if a tight fitting crack or split would be near invisible though.
If I get chance I'll break an old scrap stock and see how it looks.

Titebond glue is one of the better glues out there. Titebond III is very good for outdoor projects but is equally good inside as well. Titebond II is also a great glue but mostly for inside work.
I have done like Keith stated, glued boards together and broke them, they never broke on the glue line. In some cases I have taken fine saw dust and mixed it with the glue to fill in voids like butt plate holes and small voids that could not be sanded because of too much wood removal.

Titebond comes in a colored veson for use on darker woods. I have used it and it showes if you don't get it off the finished surface. The last bottles I purchased came from MSC.

I have a Bernardelli Roma 6EM that had a fair sized chip out of the toe. After reading this thread and Keith's comments, I decided to use Titebond III. I am very, very happy I did. This is not a great picture, but I am very happy with the results. I did refinish the entire stock.

. After repair with gorilla glue. I have at least two flats of ammo through after repair. Testing on scrap walnut showed great strength of glue.
