Ok I have a 12 ga FW field in 90+% condition with the exception of a stock break.

Man I took a chance and hopefully am not going to pay for it. I knew the stock was cracked when I bought it. It is 1949 gun with exc bluing and CCH and original wood finish. Well in disassembly to fix the stock I found that it is broken-broken. The top half of the stock head is completely separated from the lower half. That is the bad news. the good news is there is no oil in the head and the break is clean. On one side I can fit the two halves together and not even seethe crack and can barely see it on the other side. It is basically split right down the middle of the plate inletting from front to back.

My question is what is the consensus on the best glue or epoxy to fix this kind of break and what other steps after getting the two halves back together but prior to glass bedding would you recommend?

Many thanks

I have used both epoxy and glue. Rarely use epoxy anymore, now use Titebond II with excellent results. It will work very well for the break you described.
