Wood stock?
Yes wood. Rough sanded forarm down and have not had a problem since could have been fluke or imperfections in previous one. Mine like's Hornady sst. I'd post pics but don't know how
Hmmmm, now you got me thinking... I have a Beretta 390 that came to me in a similar way. I might have to explore the possibilities.
Quick update......the good guys at Stoeger Canada want me to exchange the bbl for another one that does not have the same stress cracks/marks. Shipping it out today so lets see how smooth the process goes.
Good to hear. Anytime I've had to deal with Stoeger(not often) it's been a positive experience . Hope things go well for you. Looking forward to seeing your progress with t his project. Cheers B525
Well thanks for your patience. Well I contacted Stoeger Canada before Christmas and explained that I just bought this new barrel and it had the marks on the gas chamber (I included some pics in the email) and asked the $1MM question......"Is this barrel safe to shoot?" They asked me to ship them the barrel for examination and then I received a follow up email from them saying they will be sending me a new replacement barrel. Stoeger Canada was excellent to deal with taking only three weeks to resolve this issue (including Christmas Holidays and New Years holidays) and my new barrel arrive in the mail today!!
Time to clean it up and get the build started!! Stay tuned my friends.......

After some delays it is finally finished. Turned out well - 391 Ureka 2 c/w cantilever rifled slug barrel, Bushnell Trophy XLT (2.75-4), Weaver Grand Slam rings.
I really do think my buddy (Ty) would like the transformation!! Next on the list is some range time to find out what sabot's that it likes. Thanks everyone!!
