It's a Josh Lowensteiner gun which is too nice to muck up

John, as another who cannot tolerate mashing my cheek into the stock, or floating a bird, I'd move it on and find one stocked more suitably. I just cannot shoot a shotgun with less than 2 3/8" at heel, and 2 1/2" is better for me. I don't shoot trap, either, so "built in lead" is not something I need.
However, if the gun really wants to stay with you one consideration is having another buttstock built for it with your dims and saving the original for the next owner, to preserve the value. It's an expensive option, but an option nonetheless.

New thought. Anyone got a "regular" stock for a 2 frame?

This thread is making me feel better, not at shooting, but knowing I am not alone.
I get what Bill is saying and, at least theoretically, it would serve the same purpose as lowering the heel. A golf Tee stuck on the front, painted flat black, except for the white tip would weigh less. When I'm shooting my best, it's with a red headed stepchild no one wanted. It came missing it's front bead, or it was loose; I don't remember which. I took it off because I didn't want to loose it, and the only reason I put it back on was that I was tired of everyone telling me it wasn't there. "How the hell do you hit anything without a front sight?" usually said as though the shot string was going to make a hard right upon exiting the muzzle. The only thing I want to see is the bird, and now that I've got glasses that correct for an astigmatism, I only see one bird. |

Harry, I just looked at that gun and I am in love, but 32" barrels would seal the deal.

John, I have the same problem with my 20 ga Parker Repro with 28 inch barrels
Shoot too Damm high for me and I just can't bring myself after all these years to change the way I naturally bring my guns up to my shoulder etc. It's time to get rid of it and replace it with a 20 or 28 ga that fits me like my other shotguns. I'll be posting it in the for sale section soon. Just need to figure out how to post pics. |
