I think most know that steam is used by some to bend stocks as well. Seems using water steam anywhere near the action would necessitate a complete strip and clean as a mandatory step, so no alternative there to avoid take down. I know it’s the ‘right way’, but I just can’t see myself shaving down a stock unless it’s already trashed, but I wouldn’t blame someone for doing just that if it makes their gun shootable for them. I’m surprised you’ve never studied up on stock bending and fiddled around with it, Brian - but I also appreciate your perspective on the subject, and can’t say I disagree entirely.
I appreciate hearing what anyone has to say on his subject as I’ve been awfully tempted to make a fixture or a jig, however, it would really upset me to break a stock.
