[QUOTE="Carsyn.22, post: 1927570, member: 104613"] Lots of great answers! Here are my 2 cents. Yes that crack will affect accuracy. And yes it can be repaired, I have a hobby building and repairing violins and in that biz there's a method called chalk fitting, basically glue it back together then hollow out most of it for a several inch area and chalk fit a new piece of hardwood to the hollowed out area and glue in place, then trim flush. If done well you would not see the repair except for a hairline remnant of that crack, you shouldn't need to see any part of the patch when the action is in the stock. This method takes time and attention to detail, a lot of trial and error but most anyone could do it if they are handy and have a sense of craftsmanship. Make sure to bed the action well afterward.
