Much depends on the quality of the stock, and how well cured the wood is. I've never had such a problem on, for example, my Walther GX-1, despite transporting it in an unheated trailer in New England winters (and then straight into the range), and shooting in Phoenix coming from a much moister climate. I new stock of some sort might well be an answer. I've seen a few fiberglass stocks, and expected that they'd be much more popular by now than they are (so I wonder about them?). -- Alan M.
