I got this No.4 here last year as my first gun and love it. It's a Fazakerly made in 49. I cleaned it when I got it however recently I've taken to scrubbing all the old light surface rust down, and decided to take it out of the stock to make sure everything under the wood was alright.

Well, I took the stock off and it looks pretty messed up. There's a crack right at the rear of the fore-stock, and it appears as if half of the wood has rotted or been eaten away. Perhaps I'm being a little pessimistic, but is this too far gone? I've shot about 100 rounds so far without a hitch, but am worried about it! I was thinking about maybe just getting wood glue and putting it in the crack, as I saw someone suggest for someone else, however I'm not sure if that is the best course of action here!

Thanks!
