I have broken my share of Flues stocks.
Stay away from the heavy loads
Whether your Flues might be the later evolution heavy gun or not.
I have posted here previously images identifying the substantial difference in thickness and weight of the Ithaca Flues 12 gauge shotgun as it neared the end of its product run.
They beat themselves to pieces.
First thing to go will be the top of the stock on the right side, then the web in between the shoulders where the hand pin goes through.
There is no way on a Flues to draw the stock forward to prevent the battering.
I don’t believe the barrels would ever blow, nor the action crack, but I guarantee you will pound the stock to bits.
