Do these just split by nature or is there a way to prevent this madness???

Thinking future tense of getting one
One of my first gun repair project, was a Rem 870 wingmaster 12ga. with a crack, (vertical) in the butt stock just behind the receiver. I was just gonna replace that old worn wooden factory stock with some black zytel stock, but a friend talked me into repairing it. Cleaned up the oil/grease off the wood best I could, drill a couple 1/8" holes into and through the crack, epoxy and "shish kabob" bamboo skewers.Drilling a small hole through the cracks, filling with Gorilla glue, and forcing the glue the length of the crack with a dowel rod sized to fit the hole and act like a piston is one way to repair cracks and splits.....after you get all the old lubricating oil soaked out of the wood with acetone.
