Default Stock Bending

Hello Gents,

How much would you hurt the value if you were to bend the butt stock of a Parker to more shootable dims.

Thank You for your reply,

Fritz Dornan

If a gun is low and you managed to get it bent far enough to make it more shootable then it should actually add value.

I've tried having a few guns bent and only had major success with one. It doesn't happen everytime, some just don't take enough bend to make a difference.
