Have searched the cave and did not find either one. I have a feeling one went to my son, the strap on, for his Parker. The other is a mystery in my foggy memory. I got the sock type from Cabela's but do not remember the makers name.

You may call it one man's experience, or advice. Many of the available 'comb riser' devices drape over the comb evenly, and down the side of the stock, to some extent. I found that it I mount the stick-on Gel pad only enough to cover the comb, at your cheek bone, and the excess, off to the outside, you will not inadvertently add unwanted cast. Mounted incorrectly, you will raise your point of impact, but also shift it right, or left, depending if you are a common, right handed shooter, or a rare but unique south paw.

I totally concur ! The actual riser things I tape on the stock with electrical tape and just ever so slightly over the comb to my face side then I wrap the Velcro part around and it works pretty well . Think I’ve got three guns “cobbled up” that way .

I don't know how much you'd want it bent, but it's unlikely you can get more than 1/4" or so, or so I'm told. Plus, they sometimes go back.

The Leatherman makes a lace on pad that fastens around the butt to keep everything stationary. He also makes those wrap around pads but they only give you about 1/4”. The comb is leather that is adjustable for height with its Velcro backing. It was made for rifle shooters but I bought one at the Southern a few years back to address a grade 3 hammergun with 3.5” of drop. He has a website. Worked like a charm

I’d go along with that if it were an only gun situation but not so much if you regularly shoot 6 or 7 and there’s a big difference between them all .

I didn't say it was always easy...but for the right gun I think it's worth it. I have my limits too, once the drop is past 3 1/2 - 3 3/4 I throw in the towel.

Mike altered the chokes on a set of grade-1 Laminated Steel barrels for me about 5 years ago.

Default Bending for cast

I have sent 4 guns to Dan Morgan in Vermont , all of them were English stocks . The first two were a Parker and a Fox which had both been restocked. I wanted about an 1” positive cast and he was able to get them where I wanted them . I asked him about bending a pistol grip and he said if it would bend he could only get 1/8” , I didn’t send him the pistol grip . Last mouth I sent him a 1925 Wesley Richards drop lock and a Fox SP Skeet both with original stocks . He was able to get almost what I wanted in the WR but couldn’t get the Fox to move at all . I know there’s a chance for them to move but $500 for bending is cheaper than a new stock . I’m have a pistol grip stock made for a Parker DHE 20 gauge by Wenig Custom Gunstocks and could buy a nice Parker for what I’m paying for the stock. That’s my 2 cent worth on bending stocks.
