This same VHE has 32" barrels, a single selective trigger, and it looks like an altered butt stock. I believe the stock was altered to a straight English style and the lower metal straightened to follow the grip. I'm thinking of trying to find an original pistol grip stock and have the metal bent to the correct shape. Any suggestions on locating a stock and a craftsman for this type of job?

Yep Brain can help you and it might be easier to buy a new/used trigger guard then trying to bend the old one to fit, but keep the old original guard.
