I need a little help here. As I look at the picture of the gun from the butt end I would call the cast, "cast off" and it was set up for a right handed shooter. When mounted to the right shoulder the right handed shooter's right eye would line up with the rib and he would not have to bend his head to the right to achieve his sight picture.
Isn't "cast on" bending the stock the other way? Am I correct? Thanks gents. |

Cast Off - An offset of a gun stock to the right, so that the line of sight aligns comfortably with the right eye while the butt of the stock rests comfortably on the right shoulder. Almost all right-handed shooters benefit from a little castoff and most custom built guns are made this way. The only question is how much. The castoff of a gun is about right when, with the gun comfortably mounted, the front bead lines up with the center of the standing breech. A stock offset to the left, for shooting from the left shoulder is said to be Cast On.

The gun in the picture is for a right handed shooter.I purchased two 410 hammers I just didn't post a picture of the left handed gun because a friend bought it before i could get it home. Thanks Thomas

I see gun smiths advertising stock bending, but I seldom hear of a fellow actually doing it to his gun. |

Steve, I have had a couple stocks bent with good success. Cast On or OFF can be adjusted with great success but I had one with a lot of drop and tried to have that adjusted and was told that only very minor changes could be made in that regard.

I've got an old Superposed that lines up pretty well, but I might put a tad of cast off just for grins. The gunsmiths advertises the first and second bend with a price for each. |
