Yes, the highwood stocks tended to crack where the wood partially covered the slide. As far as your stock being collectible, it is to some degree, but because your carbine has the type three barrel band on it, impressions will be left in the nose of your stock that will turn true collectors off to one degree or another. True collectors want to see only type one barrel band marks on the nose of stock like this. Still, it's a very nice looking stock with only a few issues. I think 150 to maybe 200 is more like it, but crazy things happen in today's carbine world on a daily basis.
