Question about a VH Butstocks

[Elvin Ehrhardt]

Sir So if I understand you correctly, the actual metal mounting components that attach to the stock would somewhat fit but the bulk of the stock would have to be trimmed down to fit the 20ga. As I said earlier the stock I have is off of a 12ga number 2 frame and I believe the 20 gauge is a number 1 frame. If this doesn't work out what would one of your stocks run to fit this old 20ga?

With very few exceptions, the 20ga was built on a 0 frame. As Brian alluded, it's possible to fit it with a lot of work. I'd start with setting the top tang in the stock, and bring the bottom of the stock up to meet the receiver, then thin the cheeks down, and reshape the cheek curve. The biggest reason for not doing it would be the proportions would be very heavy, and quite bulky looking.
