If I must elaborate on my feelings about bending... Like I said, it is a crap shoot as to the results as to how well the operation will go. The wood may not move as much as desired. It may work its way back over time after bending. Inletting joints may open up. The wood may break. The finish may get damaged and require attention. Or, it may go perfectly and the stock will do exactly what you want it to.
I personally know people who have had around 30% success with having multiple guns bent by the same party. Those odds are not great in his example.
I am just saying that the risk is great for something to go wrong with a gun that you just likely spent thousands of dollars on. And it may cost you more in the long run.
I really have nothing further to add to this discussion.
