TenX,
My 257 Roberts AI is a Ruger #1 and it broke at the wrist. I'm not saying that all will break but some will w/o reinforcement.
I think the draw bolt indeed assures a snug fit when tightened down the right way. But the compression force of recoil on the irregular burls in fancy wood at the marrow wrist sometimes can still concentrate too much pressure on weak joins in the wood.
