That´s a rather academic debate here.
Every stock can crack . It depends on how the rifle was treated and where it was stored. I had more than 25 Original Oberndorf sporters of all types and production time.

Yes Original Oberndorf Mauser stocks cracked as well as any other makes of those days. In the cases of cracks occuring one could see one main defect.
That was shrinking wood.
There was no more wood between the bottom of the action and the nagazine .So tightening the screws couldn´t fix the metal in the wood any more. So if the rifle was further fired, cracks started in the area behind the recoil lug of the action and more or less simultaneously behind the magazine. Signs from outside are small cracks behind the tang area on top of the pistol grip.
The key for preventing further cracking is the first repair.
If you glue , bed (with or without cross bolts) only the cracks you should always provide for enough material between the action and magazine otherwise the action swims in the stock and cracking goes on.

When you see the magazine contacting the bottom of the action , when the screws are tightened you should start repairing.
