Default Stock suggestions for hammergun

I own a Parker hammergun the stock has to much drop by far. Any suggestions on a stock maker who could make a stock for a Parker 12 ga hammer gun

I would suggest you sell the gun, the cost of a appropriate re-stock is in the $3.5K range and up. Unless the gun is a high grade in otherwise great condition it rarely makes sense to re-stock in my opinion. Many of us use a comb riser or just learn to shoot more heads up style. Good luck.

Arik, Craig is right, usually the cost is prohibitive, If it is not broken I would say clean it up and leave as is. I have a twenty gauge hammer gun with 4-1/2 inches of drop. It is what it is! Gary

I have found one of the requisite abilities to enjoy collecting old guns is that to adjust your shooting form. While many may be similiar, the older guns tend to have more stock drop. Or find one that fits you and stick with it for clays and such.
