I have 3 older Huskies with Beech stocks and all but 1 of these (a 6.5x55) had developed fore and aft cracks somewhere behind the recoil lug. A couple had cracks both in the magazine area and the tang. My 4th Husky (30-06) has a walnut stock, and when I bought it, it had a crack that ran from the lug area all the way back through the wrist. I seem to recall from the Swede Sporter board on Gunboards that the Huskies were prone to cracking because of improper inletting at the lug. I have repaired them all using Sitka's approach, plus glas bedded the action and relieved the space between tang and wood a bit. So far so good. That Acra-glas is goood stuff. DonW
