Agree with Brian. Bedding is highly recommended after reconstructing the Head. (Really, for any Vintage Shooter, since stock shrinkage over time is possible) Since it's highly probable that poor head to action fit caused the cracks in the first place. Bedding will insure a proper fit to avoid issues in the future.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
