Is this only possible via a custom wood stock? Do you mind posting pictures of this? Not sure why, but it sounds intriguing as heck... wink

Great story Art. What a memory for the kiddo.


Sorry I missed this until this morning... Not sure how well this will work to show what is meant.

This is from the butt end looking up the stock. The rod has centralizers on each end to help show how the stock is "bent" toward a right hand shooter.

From above you can see how the stock is essentially "thicker" toward the shooter... Actually the centerline of the comb is moving into the shoulder and it is as thick as normal throughout.

I do not know of any synthetics stocks being made with cast...

Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
