Dean, I doubt if I ever fire the guns, they are not my cup of tea for shooting, and I'd be sick at my stomach if the stock cracked on the hammer gun. Being a stockmaker of these old babies, I'm fully aware, more so than most, of how fragile these old stocks really are. Then again, some are shot for years and never crack. I have a Fox I've shot heavy loads for crows through forever and it's still as new. I know they are meant to shoot but when they are this clean I would not want to crack the stock on this one. But then again, they were made for shooting weren't they! Jerry
