That is why a properly made longrifle will have slots cut in the barrel lugs so the pins holding the stock to barrel can move back and forth freely. Amazing how much maple can move. Not uncommon to see forend caps slide 1/8" or more due to weather change. When an old man dies a library burns to the ground. (Old African proverb)

I was building one at the time & took it to heart & slotted my barrel lugs. I posted this because the above linked article implied that Longitudinal shrinkage was not a problem. Wood can, & Does, shrink longitudinally as well as radially & Tangentially, Miller/TN I Didn't Say Everything I Said, Yogi Berra

I have seen some so thin that light could be seen through an unbroken forend. Doesn't take much to break these! When an old man dies a library burns to the ground. (Old African proverb)
