have yet to see a browning bss with a cracked stock head. same goes for the russian baikal guns. most likely because these guns are relatively new and are designed for modern 3" mag ammo...

old stock heads usually crack, because the screws holding the wood to the metal are not torqued correctly...and because some idiot shot the hell out of the gun with modern heavy magnum loads.
