AS COMMON AS DEATH AND TAXES!
Although you faired mighty well getting 6000 rds from your forearm ,but this is just the nature of the beast!
To avoid this happening with your replacement forearm, you could set your friction rings for heavy and manually cycle for trap(a pain I know).
Pick up a syn.forearm and use that on the range and save the new wood for it`s SUNDAY BEST for show(ugly but practical).
Buy a new forearm and shoot as normal and await your cracked forearm again.
The choice is your`s, if you see a 70 year old AUTO 5 with original wood and no cracks and wonder how he did that? The answer is not shooting it in a league!
NOTE/HINT: when ordering new wood from BROWNING I suggest you send in your stock and have it matched as close as possible, because wood will vary that much!
In defense of Mr. J.M. Browning keep in mind that it was the first sucessful auto-loader introduced and is time proven and very much copied/cloned. Even with the short comings of the forearm.
