Well here's a couple pictures of what I call stress cracks in the bottom of the forend, but I'm curious to know what you all think. I loaded just 2 pictures but there are more then the 2 cracks I showed. The gun shoots great but just wondering if it could shoot better if these cracks weren't there. I've resanded and resprayed 3 different times (multiple coats) but after the finish cures for a few months these cracks reappear. Talked to the manufacturer and his fix was to spray it with about 6 coats of automotive clear coat. He said that would fix the problem. Seems like a bandaid fix and not a real solution to the problem. I've finished other laminated stocks, both rifle and shotgun. First time I've run across this. Thoughts would be appreciated. Gabe
