I recently saw the buttstock of a Fox HE that had been broken at the wrist and had been repaired many years ago with four brass rods that went from the head of the stock all the way down through the wrist. They appeared to be set in some type of hardened glue. The repair was so old that I can't surmise that it was epoxy (maybe epoxy is older than I think). I was impressed with the repair, but came away thinking that I would probably use aluminum rods to keep from altering the weight significantly. When repaired with a cyano-acralate like Zap-A-Gap and pinned through the wrist like this I can see where the repair would be much stronger than the original stock itself without altering the handling characteristics of the gun.
