I have had 2 Trojans 1 VH and a Birmingham Hammer gun bent. About a half inch at heel. None were collector guns all fit better with a higher comb. It is a crap shoot but my experience is the odds are pretty good. Fellow that does mine warns you in advance, makes no guarantee.

Have steam bent and cold molded fair amount of wood in boat work was intrested in his methods. Jig is simple not simple is knowing how much heat how fast to turn the screws and knowing when to stop. It's not something I plan to try at home.

My 10 G 2 grade hammer gun is 3 1/2 inches at heel. I would not try it. Too much needed too nice to take the risk.
