If you notice the original pictures, the nose was more than 1/2" in front of the front of the grip. By shortening the grip and changing the bottom angle, I moved it forward some, then then I cut down the front of the comb by half of it's height. These two together at least moved the comb nose to a point over the front of the grip cap. That and the physical size of the fore end were what made the original stock look so bizarre. I was constrained by the physical envelope I had to work inside. The goal here wasn't a work of art, it was to come up with something that would look acceptable. Honest truth is that if I can locate a straight replacement trigger guard before checkering, I will likely just completely amputate the grip.
