I fixed one similar to the way Paul did. I used Accra Glas Gel. I had a fairly large syringe, no needle. I know what caused mine, overtightening the front triggerguard screw. Someone had removed enough wood around the receiver ring that the front screw would bottom out in its hole. I took a bit off the end of the screw and heard the crack as I tightened it down. The crack ran all the way in to the trigger slot, as I had to clean some epoxy out of that area after pumping it in. I imagine it will be good for another 100+ yrs.
