I have a flintlock pistol with a 9" hexagonal barrel. The side of the
barrel channel in the stock was cracked in shipment, probably because the
barrel was not in the stock.

The gun is from a CVA kit, and the wood is probably beech.

What would be the best glue to use to repair this stock?

I have some Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Glue Interior.

Would epoxy be better? If so, what brand and speed (working time)?

Thanks.
