Find the same kind of wood, mill it down into shavings and sawdust.
Carefully spread the wood enough to begin to press and fill the void with the sawdust mixed with wood glue.
Build it up past the surface of the stock wood.
release the pressure and then use heavily padded clamps or other means of pressure to hold it together until it cures.
Sand down the excess wood fill carefully, and then reapply a finish to it.
You should be asking this in a wood working forum instead on how to save a cracked piece of antique furniture. It doesn't even look that bad.
If you do the process appropriately, it'll be just as strong as the original, uncracked wood. Sometimes its stronger at that spot compared to everywhere else.
You maybe need to very carefully use a needle file to get at the crack area while its going up through the stock. This process helps create a round edge in the wood that prevents splitting. Once you've got that round edge, having it filled with sawdust+wood glue will make it basically like new.
Instead of looking like this >--- It needs to look like this ===). so any excess crack down the length is taken out and then a round hump is placed in it, which should naturally occur if you're using a filing method.
Go ahead and buy a replacemet if you want to use the gun while you're fixing the original.
Replacement would probably be easiest. Any Garand-style action is going to need some fitting into the stock. This is good- a tight stock to action fitment is the best thing you can do to accurize these guns. Any wood replacement stock shouldn't require more than a few minutes with a file to get right.
Do you have any good gunsmiths in your area? I gots a 'nam vet dude that is an absolute artist. The right one can help you out and get you straight with a minimum of fuss. I don't know shit about m1 carbines.
Watch some Mark Novak, he is a wizard at these kind of repairs and restorations. You should be able to piece it back together with enough acraglass and in-set allthread.
M1 Carbines are great little guns. Replace every spring in it and it should be very reliable, most issues are from old springs. Order as many mags as possible, of course. The mags aren't that durable so inspect them for dings/function test for reliability.
Come to me, Bubba. Join the dark side. Look how practical and modern it makes the M1 Carbine... the QD socket, the rail space for that PEQ you'll never buy, the goddamn wire collapsible stock. Just look at it. Buy it and shun your ancestral wooden stock... if only to piss off your liberal family members by converting that M1 carbine into the scariest possible black rifle that the platform allows.
Bro you are so fucking lucky. I can’t get a folding stock m1 carbine where I live. Fuck your asshole family and make them pay for ruining this glorious gun.
I ended up with my Uncle's guns this spring. But his were pretty much all in pristine condition.
I cant see it.

I offer these videos to say that there ARE restorative solutions.
There should be some way to make them pay for property destruction of things that dont belong to them.

Remove the stock, saw down the barrel, and wrap that baby in hunnit dolla bills.

Do some research but this will make it look classic if it fits.
Good luck!

That’s worse than some of the sporterized Mosin-Nagants I’ve seen. May God have mercy on whomever creates such a monstrosity
The m1 garand that company makes is even more abhorrent.
If it's the real deal don't replace anything. It's more valuable as a collectors piece.
