I didn't state my sentiments properly, above. My apology offered.

While I agree it is easy enough to rasp/sand off wood to get the DAC you want, once done it can't be put back original and will render a gun of lesser value. There aren't many like you, Mike, who wouldn't devalue a vintage gun with the original stock rasped away at the comb and/or heel.

If I was a one-gun man I'd not hesitate to make a high shooting gun fit me and shoot closer to flat. But alas, I'm not, and am very reticent to rasp away at the comb of a nice vintage double, preferring rather to move it along and find one more suited to my anatomy and shooting style.
