Default Stock bending experiences ?

I'm experimenting with something new to bend a Fox, Parker etc stock without damaging the finish. I've got a junker parts Sterlingworth in process right now and have raised the drop at heel by 12/16". I can probably go another 16th or so. One consideration is the so-called "springback" = stocks that will partially revert to original drop in weeks or months after they've been bent. So ..... long story short, I ask if any of you have had a stock(s) bent and how they acted afterwards? What was the drop at heel when returned from the bender gent, and what do they measure now? Thanks for any inputs. frank
