Adjustable Combs

[Austin W Hogan]

Here is the stock profile and the detail of the joint at comb. I gained about 5/8 in drop at comb, which is the essential place, and about 1/2 inch in drop at heel. I found it necessary to provide a monte carlo heel to fit existing pads, with out reshaping the toe.
The gun is stocked for shooting head up; ie see the bird, put the rib on the bird and the butt and comb find the right places by themselves.
The finish is Man O War varnish, leveled and rubbed out with rottenstone and mineral oil.

Best, Austin
