The Remington 1894/1900 are well known for cracks in the head of the stock. A search here will show how a metal staple and epoxy glass bedding repairs the area. Remington share well made. I shoot 1 1/8 ounce loads in mine but keep the pressure down to about 8,000 psi to minimize stock stress. That is a fairly easy to find reloading listing assuming you can reload. Otherwise RST work well.
