Stock bending
Who would you recommend for stock bending nowadays? I need to make some more cast in a straight stocked gun.
Thanks! |
The only one I knew was Glen Baker at Woodcock Hill in Benton, PA. I have seen a Perazzi he did and it was well done still holding after many years. But he's passed on, he has someone there who does it now (with oil I believe) and others on here I know will say yay/nay on his skills.

The Couple times I have had stocks bent, I think I would have been better off throwing the money right in the garbage afterwards.
One was a Parker Repro. two attempts to bend for drop resulted in no change and all I had was a gun so gummed up with oil that it would barely open or function without a full cleaning. The second attempt was on an english gun to remove cast and bring it back to neutral. Within 6 months the cast went back halfway to where it was when I started. The two guns were done by different people. |
That's going to be a really tough one Josh, with the long trigger guard tang...

Josh,
I just had Dennis Smith (The Stock Doctor) bend a draw bolt stock on an RBL28. I also had Dennis bend a Perazzi DC12 draw bolt stock. Both came out perfect! He is the one I would recommend you contact. His phone number is (541) 483-2182. All the best, Buddy |
Dan Rositter (SR) has done it and I think he still has the heating/bending jig in his shop. He still uses the Custom Stocks & Steel business name.

I've only had a couple done, both Fox, but Mike Orlen did them and they were perfect, cheap and quick. Had a couple of old time stocks bent for cast and drop and turned them into lethal frouse and quail guns.
