Thought that was what I was looking at. Did not have the consistency and color of expoxy. Did not want to call you out...

'Kerz' - I determined holes by eye and 'by guess & by golly'.

I drilled the hole into the replacement forearm, first.  I inserted a plastic headed thumb-tack, point out, into the hole.

With the barreled/action in the stock, I used the barrel as a guide.

I moved the forearm into approximate position and the point of the thumb-tack marked the spot for the 'stock hole'.

The holes were a slightly loose fit on the threaded rod to allow ample ACRAGLAS. The holes also 'vented' into the hidden 'lightening-cuts', of the stock and forearm, so 'compression' did not interfere with the glue flow.

I 'notched' the threaded-rod beforehand for the Forearm 'barrel-band pin'. I put a 'witness mark' (black felt tip mark) on the threaded-rod and its forearm hole.

With everything apart, barrel (joint area) coated with Vaseline, and ACRAGLAS mixed, I ladled ACRAGLAS (with popsicle-stick) into forearm hole, on front half of threaded-rod, and splice surface. The threaded rod was inserted into forearm, turned to 'index mark', and a small finish nail inserted as a temporary 'barrel-band pin'.

ACRAGLAS was then ladled into the stock hole, on the cut surface, and a bit in the barrel channel-splice area. The barreled-action and stock were put together and secured with just the front guard-screw (tight) and a wrap of masking tape at finger-grooves.

The threaded-dowel (coated with ACRAGLAS) and the forearm were now slipped into position. The forearm was secured with the front barrel-band (without screw) and a wrap of masking tape ahead of the 'glue joint. I tapped the forearm tip with a plastic mallet, made sure the bayonet fit and positioned properly (in relation to the front-sight base), and that the top edges of the stock and forearm aligned.

I also made sure I could see a bit of 'daylight' between the top of the barrel and the loops on the front barrel-band.

During the initial hardening of the ACRAGLAS the rifle was rotated so that the bedding compound did not settle unevenly.

Vasoline as release agent.  Why didn't I think of that?

Fine looking rifle BR!!!

Good Job... and I'm sure it will bring many years of shooting pleasure.

Vic - Hopefully, you have the broken piece. If so, (take stock off your Krag), clean up the surfaces at the break, so they 'mate' nicely. Mix up some ACRAGLAS and 'glue' piece to stock. Once ACRAGLAS has hardened, a small vertical hole could be drilled on 'inside' of stock and a fine pin, made from a finish-nail, inserted with 'glue' to reinforce.

p.s. - That is an all to common break on a Krag Stock. If you don't have the broken piece, one can be fashioned. A patch piece cut from an old 'junked' 1903 Springfield 'donor' Stock might be a good match.

Hmmmmm - rifle is cocked, wonder if it was loaded?

Thx guys for the repair tips.  Yelp, still got the broken piece.  I'll work on it when it gets back from Chuck Moline. Tidying up some issues after the new Criterion was installed.
