I have had two guns have the cheeks break off. A Browning BSS 12g that wound up having a cracked and repaired cheek before I bought it. The whole cheek on the left side came off. I wound up having the stock replaced and it's my go to waterfowl and crow double. Not that I hunt waterfowl and crows often, but I can shoot anything out of that gun. The second gun was a 16g Fox Sterly. Same deal. The 16g shells were a bit snotty and the 5th shot with those shells had the stock around the auto-safety rod break off. Had that repaired and reinforced then sold it.
