I envy you guys. I can adapt myself to lower stock dimensions when shooting dove or ducks or even turkeys, but for quail, grouse, pheasant and woodcock, there's too much instinctive shooting for me and I can't hit a thing with a stock below about 2 1/2".

So, Tom, if you do decide to have a new stock made, just save the original one and keep everything together to leave to your heirs. It will be appreciated and valued, I'm sure.
