I have a recent acquisition that came with a wrist that is nearly snapped in two. It's literally hanging on by less than 1/4" of solid wood on the left side. It's cracked all the way through to the center hollow of the wrist (it's an Anson & Deeley style box-lock). just ahead of the rear screw that holds the trigger plate and guard to the tang. It'll be difficult to get into from the outside without breaking the wrist completely, and virtually impossible to drill and pin accurately without going in through the outside as well.
I have some brass 3/32 stock repair pins on their way along with acraglas for repairs. I feel like it would actually be better just to break the stock the whole way through and join the two halves back together again so I have easy access to pin and epoxy the compromised area instead of trying to work around it.
It's a pre-WWII French SxS for what it's worth, so nothing insane value-wise.
Any thoughts?
