It is relatively easy to repair a cracked ITHACA/SKB SxS stock with epoxy and small steel cross pins in a manner that barely shows. The stock is then glass-bedded to be stronger, and bear evenly. Done properly, the problem will not recur.

It is also a good idea to perform the same epoxy bedding on any "non-cracked SKB" -- to preclude any future problem. The area at the rear of the upper and lower tangs is key.
