Most Husky's were cracked at the tang, not becasue of wood to metal fit, but due to overly long steel screw bushings. Bushings that are too long, allow the floor-plate and action to be screwed together, but loose from the stock itself. They are an early form of pillar bedding, except the 'pillar' isn't glued to the wood as in modern pillar bedding.
; If the stock isn't cracked, I remove the steel bushing and screw things down tight - never cracks after that. if it's cracked, I repair it similarly to 9.3x57, then removed the bushing and it never cracks there. Properly bedded, an the stock won't crack, as long as the wood is strong enough for the ctg. the rifle is chambered for.
; I had a .375/06IMP that used to crack the stock every 400 to 1,000 rounds. After repairing it 3 times, I finally re-stocked it. The wood was a beautiful, but extremely soft and open pored piece of highly figured claro I got from Fagen's back in 72. It originally failed on my .458 2", got re-bedded, cross-pinned and lasted well over 1,000 more rounds before spitting the second time. I pulled te .458 barrel, replaced it with a .375" tube, and carried on, shooting and repairing. Actually, it did quite well considering the punky wood.
How many guys on this site still haven't fired 1,000 rounds of centrefire hunting ammunition? Certainly those who don't load and there are a lot of them here.
