Stock Bending Suggestions

[Bill Murphy]

For a minor bend, my advice would be to do it yourself, after researching methods. A minor bend, done at home, is not likely to damage your stock. However, step one would be to determine why you want the bend done. Are you lefthanded and trying to correct a previous bend that was done to suit a right handed shooter? Is this a standard dimension stock which will be the first of many guns in your collection to be bent?

Bill,
Thanks for your input, currently the gun has 1/2" of cast off that I want brought back to as close to neutral as can be safely done. I think I need a real pro to safely get this accomplished.

That may be approaching the limit of what can be done. I would definitely have the stock evaluated by a professional. As you are in NY there should be at least a couple of options in terms of competent stock guys.
