Lowe's carries Epoxy in larger bottles Approximately 6-8 oz. ? It cost about $15.00 and is as good as it comes. It will last you years, I've made repairs on Auto's, Washers, Dryers, reloading equipment, Gun stocks, wood etc. I have had it to fail on certain plastics, but that applys to most epoxy's.
You can also make that repair with the same sawdust and Titebond or elmer's
WATERPROOF wood glue. Be sure to remove all the oil from the repair area, there are several solutions that will do that for you if you don't already have one of your own, just do a search?
What ever you decide on to use? If any part of your repair is going to show I suggest strongly that you test a spot maybe on part of the old stock or under the butt plate where you drilled out your 'dust' to be sure you are going to be satasfied with the results? You may need to re-test a few times but it's better than "Sure Wish#$%^&#$%#$ with the final results.
