My advice is here Ted

"After carefully checking the stock and finding no cracks or oil soaking, you might paint the head of the stock and lockplate inlets with an ultra-thin cyanoacrylate glue like Goat Tuff Glue."

Neither the No. 0 16g nor the No. 00 12g have cracks at the head of the stock. Because of my hopeless flinch, I use 3/4 oz. at 1200 fps loads for both. If they haven't cracked now, I think they are unlikely to do so.

So since you can't find my statement that Smiths are "better" than English guns, and have chosen to misrepresent my "advice", possibly you could share your motivation for doing so?
And please call me Drew.
