Bending for cast
I have sent 4 guns to Dan Morgan in Vermont , all of them were English stocks . The first two were a Parker and a Fox which had both been restocked. I wanted about an 1” positive cast and he was able to get them where I wanted them . I asked him about bending a pistol grip and he said if it would bend he could only get 1/8” , I didn’t send him the pistol grip . Last mouth I sent him a 1925 Wesley Richards drop lock and a Fox SP Skeet both with original stocks . He was able to get almost what I wanted in the WR but couldn’t get the Fox to move at all . I know there’s a chance for them to move but $500 for bending is cheaper than a new stock . I’m have a pistol grip stock made for a Parker DHE 20 gauge by Wenig Custom Gunstocks and could buy a nice Parker for what I’m paying for the stock. That’s my 2 cent worth on bending stocks.
