Assuming you have the missing piece and it isnt worth a lot and you want to do it your self.
Remove the recoil pad (usually 2 srews)
Remove the stock by undoing the screw or bolt you can now see.
Glue using wood glue & perhaps a couple of brads/tacks
Replace the stock, you could while your at it re finish the stock. Eg oil or lacquer

Ouch, another way would be cleaning up the ridges, and shaping another peice of wood to fit the chunk missing screw it together with some fine thin screws and cut off both ends of the screw and polish fill from there, kinda like a enfiels repair

No I don't have the piece. I broke it out shooting one night some how. I'm not overt concerned with how it looks when fixed so I might just patch it up myself thanks guys

Not to be a PITA but I am wondering why it broke and I readily admit to knowing nothing about bedding that kind of furniture.

Could it be that the leading edges of the butt (see, I know nothing about nomenclature) took the recoil, resulting in in a crack and the eventual breakage? Should the recoil be transferred to the centre of the pistol grip, instead? If the L Es should not contact the action, should the unbroken side of the grip be checked for contact?

That's probably how I'd tackle it.

Only loss might be the checkering, unless you want to buy a toolset you're not likely to use again?

Looks like it had some side-ways pressure applied. Someone sit on it? Agree with above comment, cut into the stock so that you have a good flat surface for your repair piece and for the glue to bond well. Pinning will also help. Common repair on antique lever guns, theory is from horses rolling on them while in a scabbard. They are commonly found with rawhide wrapped around the wrist as well. It is stretched and sewn on wet and shrinks tight when it drys.
