How do my stock repairs look?

This was my first time using dowel pins fixing up a stock. They aren’t perfect and on one of the 2 I didn’t get the end of the crack so like 3 mm of crack is on the right side of the pin.

I don’t plan on shooting any powerful loads through this old Mauser, mostly going to try and get good groups out at 50 yards. So I don’t think it will split any more. Also I filled the cracks with epoxy and the previous owner put some metal pins in it too.

Any further advice is welcome, this was my first time so I don’t reckon I screwed it up too bad.

Think You did all You can D. Shooting it should tell if further attention is needed.
Thanks, shot about 50 surplus (very Hot!) rounds and no further cracking. I think it’s good to go even though I didn’t quite get one pin on the edge of a crack.
