I think you guys have covered just about all the likely causes. My Trojan had the same kind of problem - likely many, many 2 3/4 promo and target rounds through it as someone's skeet gun, not thinking about it having 2 1/2 inch chambers. I had it glued up & bedded. The gunsmith (who had a good reputation) decided to add a brass rod on his own (one of several reasons I won't be going back to him), but on that gun (which already has an extension), it's no big deal.
Go read Salopian's thread on modern wood glues....
If I ever hit the lottery, I'll get a new stock made.

There is a concurrent thread about glues running right now --- I have repaired several similar stocks myself, at home with a good glue and latex tubing. Get glue on the piece, get it in place and get a good wrap around the wrist and head with the latex tubing. I have had several successes and no failures or need to send any out to fix my work or other wise be redone. The staple reinforcement is a good suggestion and addition though I rarely add it myself. I use Loctite 4011, which is incredible but requires very fast work.

This is enough to drive you nuts. Still, potentially a nice PH.   Regards Ken

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