Here's another "if"....

If the gun was of good original design, stocked with good quality wood to start with and well cared for over the years then the stock shouldn't be crack'n from shooting it.

joe: so are you saying that so long as a 100 year old gun was well designed to start with, stocked with good wood and well cared for thru the years then it should be able to handle 1 1/2 ounce, high pressure magnum loads without danger of cracking the stock?

joe: typical 100 year old 12 ga guns were never designed to handle 1 1/2 ounce loads and certainly not at the pressures generated by today's magnum shells. and you seem to be ignoring the brittle, aged wood issue. are you really not getting this or are you just trying my patience?

Ed,
I have to agree with j0e. If the guns were originally meant/proved for heavy loads I would have no qualms in firing that load thru a sound gun as long as the load matched original pressures. You might want to get and read Tom Armbrust's book on 4 and 8 bore shotgun loads.
