Brian, I am concerned a little about the stock. It has turned up a small crack behind the tang. This week is the first time I have carried the gun, or even shot it for that matter. I cannot tell if the crack is old and was covered with a concealer, which would have been removed while carrying the gun. I tend to hold my thumb right where the crack is behind the tang and safety, so a light finish coat would have probably been rubbed right off pretty quickly. I was using RST 2-1/2" shells at the time, and probably put 12 rounds down the tubes. After my first few I was inspecting the stock and noticed the crack. Looks old, and might even be glued but I haven't removed the stock. I continued using the gun to monitor the spot, and it doesn't appear to have spread at all. The finish is mostly gone, and the toe has an old chip. I was thinking I might give you a call to discuss my options.
