Where to place the shield
 

I am restocking a VH 20 and the original stock had a 12” LOP. So the new stock has a 14 1/4” LOP. Where should I place the shield or where would the Parker factory have placed the shield. Thanks for your input.

Ask Brian Dudley as he is well read on this subject

Measuring 4 guns, 2 V grades, and 2 G grades, no two were the same and I'm certain none of the stocks have been cut. They varied between 3.5" and 3.75" to the end of the butt plate.

I have always believed the shield placement goes exactly halfway between the bottom of the grip cap and the toe of the butt.

Are you guys measuring to the center of the shield?

I am.

Thanks to everyone for your input. I know where I am going to place it.
