No problem. The gun was supposed to be the start of a cheap project, that progressively got more and more expensive. The cracked stock was the 1st blow. None of the cracking was visible until the action was removed. While we often talk barrels to death, the wood will often suffer just as much under heavy recoil. 7000 psi sounds just fine.
