My first double as a very young teenager was a 20 ga. Flues that weighed in at about 5 1/2 pounds. It had in excess of 3" drop in the stock. Not knowing any better, I shot 1 oz. loads in it exclusively. Never had any problems, except my shoulder and cheek. I have owned 3 more since then that I shot 3/4 and 7/8 oz. loads in. Never a problem with these either, but I wish I had my first one back. I have seen a couple of photos of Flues' that had cracked frames, but God only knows what was shot in them to crack them. I've never seen a cracked frame in person, either my own or anyone elses. I would not hesitate to shoot appropriate loads in any Flues in good condition.
