Hello Mr.Hause:
Thank you very much for the information. I have used bedding compound to reinforce and fit the internal parts of the stock to metal. However, I must have not examined the fit s on the Beretta UL. I may have assumed that if the stock had not cracked in 50,000 plus rounds, it was never going to crack. I will check the internal fits in the future to make sure that they are load bearing!
I think that I made the fit of the action to the head of the stock too perfect and when I sealed the inside of the stock with finish, the fits became too tight. It looks very good from the outside though.
How much would one expect to pay for a restoration as pictured above? I doubt that it would be inexpensive, a relative term at best.
Be well,
Franchi
