Husky Dude has it. I would drill a 1/8 hole straight down the center of the crack. Force a wood glue in untill it comes out on eithe side then clamp. Have repaired countless stocks this way and all worked just fine.
Not sure if you even need to drill it at all.
If I was going to, it would be with a drill just a bit bigger than the od of the needle and only 1/4" deep.
It's good to have a few different size needle/syringes (deposable) on hand, the smaller the better.
As long as the CA sucks into the syringe and squirts out of the needle.
Not sure you can get that crack to flex, maybe with a clamp with rubber ends clamped=crack closes, unclamped=opens
Force glue into crack while flexing stock. The glue should wick in nicely.
Your choice to let dry clamped or not. Thinking not.

Dremel a slot or slots crosswise and drill holes at ends of the slots as far away from the crack as possible. Bend wire into u-shaped staples such that the ends will drop into the holes and the straight centre section will fall into the slot. Wire about 1/16" in diameter works well and the holes are sized to be a slightly loose fit for the wire. Work epoxy into the holes and insert the staple(s), then fill the slot(s) with epoxy. Makes for a strong reinforcement with no external damage to the stock. Before doing any of that, I would work yellow carpenter's glue into the crack and clamp it shut as best I can. Others have made good suggestions re how to do that.
