Enfield MK III* Possible Re-Arsenal to India?

[neoisprettycool]

Gentlemen,

I have disassembled the rifle and cleaned as much of the cosmoline as I could.

Just a bit of background: I just turned 18 a few months ago and have collected milsurps and other firearms since I was 15. I now have every kind of basic bolt action including Mosins, Mauser actions, a Schmidt Rubin straight pull, and now this Enfield. I am a second-year Mechanical Engineering student at a transfer program to UT-Knoxville. I hope to go into firearm design/manufacturing. I truly appreciate you all sharing your knowledge and wisdom with me. I don't really have anyone else to learn from as most of the individuals my age are so politically skewed that they'd probably judge me if they knew I even owned a firearm.

At any rate, I have found MANY more markings. Unfortunately, I also found a fracture at the rear side of the forestock. There might be a couple duplicates; if so it is because there is another marking near it that I wasn't able to get in the picture. I really tried to take clear pictures, but if there is one that is not clear enough, let me know and I'll do my best to re-do it. From what I can tell, the barrel, receiver, bolt, and nose cap are all matching with a "7901." I am pretty happy about that. Here are all of the markings I have found:

Fracture:

When I took this apart, and cleaned it up with spirits and three pieces just fell off of the stock... I tried to glue and puzzle it back together. It failed, I believe, due to the remaining cosmoline inhibiting the glue. I assume that the screw fractured the wood, the screw is also fractured in half as well. My question is: How can I successfully repair this or at least repair it enough to be able to safely shoot? How much will this affect the structural integrity of the rifle? (I haven't taken Statics or Strength of Materials yet to analyze it myself.)
