Hoof,
In regards to the comb on that Trojan. You have a ton of wood to work with there. And if you do it right, in the end you can most likely get it looking correct for a Parker.

Take that gun to a competent stock man and have him remove 3/8" off the comb and a 1/4" or less off the heel, reduce the LOP and shoot it for a month. Then finish the adjustment as needed. With the cast off you may find that you do not need or shoot it well with your normal drop at comb. Comb is much more important to me than heel drop. I find that I can alter my mounting for a drop of heel issue but my cheek bone just refuses to shrink to get past a too high comb. Since that is a restock no one will cry when you alter it to a more functional gun for your needs.

Bend it first, then remove what little you need to complete the drop at comb. Drop at heel can be accomplished with a Morgan adjustable pad, maybe? Good luck.

There's another route to take for 'comb lowering"-- put a rooster's head on the old chopping block, swing the old Plumb or Marbles axe correctly, and the head and comb fall to the ground, while the wings beat like the rotor blades on a UH-1 "Huey" with a worn "Jesus Nut"-- Truly the best advice given...so far.

Considering that the comb as it is, is not at all correct for a Parker (too high and too fat). There is no real need to bend to alter the comb. It can all be done by just working it down. And in the process, a Parker correct comb can be made.

How does this look? This is 1/2" off the "face" and only 1/4" off the butt. That puts me pretty much right on for the face, and a little closer on the butt. That will give me just under 5" of height on the butt, but if I don't take some off there the angle of the comb looks odd.  CHAZ

Does it shoot where you are looking? If so all is well.

If you are contemplating taking any off of the heel, consider what you are going to do about the buttplate. Factory type (or repro) buttplates come in only a few sizes. If you are putting a pad on it, any height from about 5" up will look fine.

This is just a photoshop "mock-up" to see what it would look like with that much material taken off. That change in the stock brings it pretty close to the measurements my fitting dictated.
I am going to fit a plate to the butt, and it will be shortened, possibly to the point of losing the border at the bottom. I checked the sizes for all the plates CSMC had, and got the closest one I could. The stock is a really odd size, short and fat.
