If I understand your numbers, you want to raise the drop at the comb and lower at the heel(?). I'm just not sure that can be done (you would need to exert pressure in two opposing directions). The bending happens mostly in the wrist area and the rest of the stock "follows." I have had two stocks bent, wanting to raise both DAC and DAH. It can be chancy and it's possible to break the stock, especially in older wood. My two bends helped, but they both moved back somewhat after time.
I must say that the stock configuration of the gun you pictured is unique. It almost appears that some of the stock was shaved off of the comb. Personally, I think you might be asking too much to get the measurements to where you want them by bending the stock. There are others here with far more experience than my limited two examples, and I'm sure they'll weigh in. Good luck.

I recognize that gun. I am pretty sure I saw it for sale recently.
It was refinished and the checkering recut because the wrist was BROKEN when the stock was bent! Not an uncommon thing when they are bent up that much. If they dont break right away, they break down the road. The stock is garbage. The only solution is replacement.

Parker Pages, journal of the PGCA, is actually a full-color forty-eight page magazine and there is a Members Only section of the forum where, among other things, we enjoy the benefit of buying and selling Parkers and other sports related items. Like Mike said, we would be glad to have you join - and you’d be glad you did.

Welcome, Rud. As others have already noted, you can now access the "for sale" threads and very likely find the gun you're looking for...and more that you didn't even know you needed!
