I had this with a BSA Meteor. Firstly i glued the split. Before the glue dried I pre-drilled a couple of holes through the split, put a couple of screws in with the heads countersunk and filled the holes with sawdust and wood glue. It has been like this now for about 10 years, it doesn't really get used these days but did have heavy use after the repair was made. Its perhaps not the prettiest repair but if you plan to hide it with camo tape you'd never know.

 

Hope this is of some help, good luck with it.

Bud is right drill and add screws but use brass screws .steel screws will rust and split the stock after a few years .

Try to force as much epoxy glue in the split first before you screw it up tight and leave it to set for a few days before you use it .
