Here is rule of thumb I follow for torque setting in guns.
Wood / composit without glass bedding: 45 to 50 lb-in.
Glass bedded wood / composit: 50 to 55 lb-in.
Taking about scary scenario involving gun stock, nothing to do with torque settings, is Remington 1100 auto shotgun. The action link consists of 2 sharp hooks that need to be captivated in the action spring follower. The whole deal resides in the action spring tube in the stock. If somehow the link hooks work their way out of the follower, under recoil force, the hooks can puncture through the tube wall and the stock wood. Image how freaky it is when the shooter's cheek welded on the stock. You think the guy would sue somebody and everybody? Let's not think about it too much.
