It is my opinion that anyone considering bending a stock thinks long and hard about it and also considers what type of bending is needed.

Based on many conversations with people who have had stocks bent lead me to believe it is a total crap shoot as to how well the stock will turn out. It all depends on the particular gun, the piece of wood and the amount the wood needs to move along with in what direction.

I believe it is easier to bend for cast or toe than for drop.

In regards to the Parker factor adjusting stock dimensions of returned guns. I would be curious to know how they did it.
