conducted by a Iqading arms manufacturer Stephens Arms Company a shotgun with the new plastic stock was clamped in a shooting jack with the shoulder piece resting against a 'solid blqcjk that the stock received- the full recoil of the gun ft was then loaded and fired repeatedly The hard rubber butt-plate crumbled from the constant hammering whereas the plastic stock showed no fracture or distortion- Thfs test was repeated on v- 'MS' qther guns of various gauges and cajifires and of i-oynds were shqt- Wooden stqcks under Such severe firing tests have split 05 cracked many times but was

drying must be carefully controlled and requires considerable time When the piece is ready for shaping the grain must be studied and followed In order to obtain maximum strength in the stock
