Gunsmith or woodworker??

[JackOfAllTrades]

If you can operate a screw driver, you can change the stock on a rifle. Google for your model, (not just the brand).  If you want the stock glass/pillar bedded, have a gunsmith do it if you're not comfortable with that task.

If you do it yourself, the best glue out there, IMO is gorilla glue.  If you can open it up enough to push or blow the glue through, it works great.  It also fills small gaps if there were splinters missing.

You can do a lot with Elmer’s wood glue and some rubber bands.  Older wood trends to dry out and shrink causing cranks.  A good oiling will return full shape to the fibers and close the crack.  Force glue into the crack, clamp, oil, when the glue dries wax the wood.

Thank you guys a lot cp my crack goes along the top of my stock coming from the receiver back towards my face my thing is I'm kinda scared to shoot it I don't really want the thing coming apart on me after I shoot it

What model of Remington is it?  I'm assuming 700 BDL.  (ADL?)  Long or short action? Bull barrel or standard contour? (just tell us the cartridge you're shooting) I bet someone on here might even have one to sell ya.

Elmers wood glue is not waterproof.  If you're going to glue it, use a waterproof glue.

JKOZIOL85 sounds like the same stress cracking that I referred to earlier.  A little fiberglass cloth and epoxy will fix that right up and a little sanding will blend it in.  I'll take some pics of my repairs and post them later.  If it's strong enough to handle turkey loads in a 12 gauge, I wouldn't have any worries pulling the trigger on a .243!

My pops and I are actually going to work on it today I think we are going to go the apoxy and fiber glass route. Just for the year then when rifle season is over take it in and have the stock replaced its a completely custom gun my dad said it shoots Remington shells and it's a long action I thought just the stock was custom apparently not. It's i hear gonna cost a pretty penny to have a stock repaired

This is the repair on the beretta 302A 12 gauge.  This was a severe crack.  The discolored wedge is where I removed wood with a chisel and filled  with fiberglass cloth soaked in epoxy.  The slightly darker band around the neck of the stock is a layer of fiberglass wrapped completely around the neck then sanded smooth. 

Fiberglass cloth soaked with epoxy becomes transparent.  There was no other refinishing done to the stock. 

I shot this gun heavily for a couple seasons after this repair.  It has since been retired due to the action being worn out.  It started opening up during firing and left powder burns on my left forearm.  It is a future Seattle buyback prospect.

Lighting shows the "band" better on this photo

I didn't get around to working on it today I'm growing more and more excited for hunting season starting to pull the gun out and work on it

what the OP explained sounds like a crack behind the rear tang. Take the barrel action out of the stock and open up the rear tang area, it's to tight. Re-bed it with some epoxy, liquid steel works well. The crack should be a hairline when you remove the barreled action. Sand the area behind the rear tang, just lightly. Get some finish and 400 grit wet dry sand paper. Re-finish it by getting some finish on the paper and sanding in a circular motion until the crack is well filled. Relieving the rear tang area will take the pressure off the crack. using the wet dry paper to put on the finish will create a slurry on the sanding dust and force it into the stock sealing the crack.
