Rich has a serious point
I have a 16 made in 1904, later rebarrelled by Remington with 2 3/4 chambers so
I shot what ever modern 16s I could find for years- until I noticed a crack starting in the wrist - could have bought a lot of RSTs for what the restock will cost
can I prove the heavier recoil did it, no, but none of the even older guns that have a steady light recoil diet have had wood issues.
since the light shells work so well, on clays or game - i am now firmly in the better safe than sorry side of the discussion
