Straight Stock and Pitch
I have had the missing parts on the family VH 16 gauge replaced and though the gun came with a capped pistol grip I had the missing trigger guard bow replaced with a straight guard bow. It is time to send it to my stocker and I want a 14 inch length of pull, no cast and checkered butt. I am unsure of what pitch to ask for. My fahers 20 gauge Trojan and my 28 gauge VH have a 2 3/4" pitch and I shoot them well. My restocked 20 gauge top lever hammered Parker and a family 20 gauge VH have 1 inch of pitch and I shoot them well.
I would like to know what your straight stocked Parkers pitch is and I need pictures of the checkering on a straight stocked VH or VHE. I did a rub of the checkering on an 1881 lifter and it was so worn that it did not come out well enough for the stocker.
