Herb,Contact Walter Eiserer. He has 50 years under his belt (not counting his 8 years apprenticeship in Austria) I have had two stocks bent, including one rook rifle with the tiniest wrist. He has the skill, tea kettle, and nine miles of surgical tubing.
It is not something I'd trust to the amateur gunsmith, or newbie. I certainly would never try it, but I've bent a lot of wood in my boat building, and know wood likes to be talked to nicely, then it will go 'round the horn for you.
