Any opinions on laminate stocks versus those made of solid walnut? Are they as durable? So far only have solid but have seen some very nice looking laminates.
Splitting at the tang is an indication of poor bedding. It means the tang is subjected to recoil forces, and the recoil lug is not properly bedded.I have had 5 bolt guns with laminate stocks split at the tang compared to over 50 solid stocks some of which are over 50 yrs old.
Well Vern you got it pegged there, my problem is why is happening on these laminate stocks and not the rest. They are all stock rifles.Splitting at the tang is an indication of poor bedding. It means the tang is subjected to recoil forces, and the recoil lug is not properly bedded.
