Likewise, just sayin'.

No, Fox guns are made for carrying all day in the field. They are like pump guns and will beat you up over a long day of shooting clay. As for cracks and splits, none of my Parkers had any stock issues. Now if we bring LCS field grade guns into the mix….

Mike my friend, I'm happy you posted about your Parkers; I read your post that "old dry wood" has been a non-issue for your Parkers. Good to know as I've gotten into Parkers. I'm one to shoot traditional/regular loads whether for clays or heavy for hunting and I've never had that concern over decades while shooting many Foxes with same a whole lot.

We’ll, any maker’s gun can split and crack. As for my experience, I had two guns have a cheek break off while shooting. One was a BSS that had (unbeknownst to me) previously been repaired. The second was an A grade Fox 16g.
