Jerry,
I shot the gun twice now, on the skeet field as described and at barn pigeons with great success. At this point I am very satisfied. My observation is that a fraction of bend at the grip gave me the 1/8 to 1/4 I needed in the drop to correct the high pattern. I also could see no discernable disfiguration in the checkering etc and definitly no refinish needed on this piece of work. Gun on close inspection and magnifying glass looks the same. Others may have different experiences. I experienced no slip in the pitch. It was a straight stock and I understand that a pistol grip might be less cooperative. All this is observation as I am no SxS expert. I am going to watch it as I understand that they can tend to have a tendancy to slip or bend back. The tang also is bent to accomodate the change. I will visit Dan Morgan in the next few weeks and pick up the topic again with him.
Good luck!
