I am surprised to hear of cracked stocks on 3200's. I have owned at least five, and all I had were glass bedded at the factory behind the tang. I have seen a number of them that had cracked fore ends because the owners kept shooting them after the fore end iron developed a crack, which was a design problem. The 3200 was a popular gun with some of the top shooters of the day, and I think that most moved on to other guns after the 3200 was discontinued due to lack of parts availability.The 3200 was a target gun that sold in lower numbers than other Remington guns of the time, and Remington apparently didn't think it was worthwhile to keep in the line up. They also made and discontinued the model 32 which was picked up by Kreighoff in the 1960's and which has become one of the premier target guns in this country.
