Those are known as "stack crackers" or "stock splitters". Interestingly I read somewhere that high grades were less susceptible due to more careful fitting and or wood used for stocks. I almost bought one of them Marlin L.C. Smiths made back in late 1960s. It was decent handling gun with what I found interesting aluminum alloy rib. The gun was not heavy like most American 12ga SxS stuff.
