Intentional Stock Cracking

[J.B. Books]

You need to be real careful when considering a butt implant like that. :-)

Just out of curiosity, I remeasured the dah and it is now back to 3", although the cast off remained.

I found someone who is can utilize the two methods described, but have opted out for the one Bruce described, which is basically adding wood along the comb and removing it from the bottom of the stock. Hopefully it works out, and I can post pics. Thanks for all the suggestions.

After bending a stock, it is not uncommon that they return to their original drop after a while.

Bruce, I wish I knew that before incurring the expense.

This whole stock "cobbling" process is a pain and expensive, but I'm picky on stock dimensions, can't afford a bespoke gun, and it seems to be the price I have to pay to shoot a Parker and thus, keep in good standing on the site.

Just curious, how long is "after a while"?

From what I've heard Frank, anywhere from several months to several years.
