[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1450402, member: 105102"] This is kind of a late reply, but I see no one replied so I'll give it a shot..... I have built a few SxS/OU shotgun stocks from blanks and one thing I always do when building them is bed them...... After the blank is fitted, I gouge out the wood around the back of the tang around the through bolt hole and bed the rear of the tang to the stock. This transfers most of the force of recoil to the wrist of the stock rather than the thin side plates. (Even on none through bolt stock this helps) As time goes on, wood compresses and the through bolt will pull the action into the thin sides putting undue stress on them. The bedding should help avoid this. In your case, I would bed it, and just snug the bolt up until the epoxy drys which should take a bit of the stress off the crack areas.....It also wouldn't hurt to reinforce the cracks from the back side with a thin epoxy or supper glue. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
