Problem with beavertail wood stock

[Ken Krukowski]

I have a 28 ga. Parker Reproduction that I shoot for both hunting and clays.
The tang that holds the beavertail in place will on firing begin to open , after 2 -3 shots it will open to the point of falling off. I've had to catch the for end many times. As a result I have to make sure the tang is in place after every shot. I've taken the gun to my gunsmith ; he has been unable to fix the problem. I shoot standard low brass loads so I'm not over shooting the gun.

Has anybody experienced this problem , what's the fix, or is this just part of the gun's personality?
I must say I really like the gun and shot it very well so I don't want to sell it.

ken....i will weld a bit of metal to the hook the latch catches on then slowly file it down till the latch locks tightly. but i only do this if no other problems are found in the forend. i have found a few latch cross pins that were bent causing a simalar problem. to fix this i use a piece of drill rod to replace the bent cross pin.
