So, is it possible to have draw bolt gun bent to have more drop? This is a Verona O/U that is stocked too high for me. Only other option is an add on rib. Restocking is not feasible.

I had a Perazzi sporting clays gun bent for cast off by Jack Rowe about 20 years ago & I once observed a gunsmith bending a pistol grip Beretta 680 series field gun for both cast & drop at the Grand American when it was held in Vandalia OH (can't remember the gunsmiths name).

From this I would assume that some draw bolt guns can be bent but I've been told that competition guns with thick pistol grips can be difficult to bend.

I would talk to someone who does a lot of stock bending.

Shaving the comb won't work why?

Stan, The Stock Doctor, Dennis Smith, bends down draw bolt guns all the time. Is it the little .410/28 combo you got from David? My suggestion is shaving the comb, but something tells me you have ruled that out already.

Didn't say that wouldn't work, I said it wasn't an option. I'm unwilling to shave off several hundred dollars value of the gun by removing 1/4" to 3/8" DAC. This is a minty little gun and I'll either get it shooting where I want it to or move it on down the road.

John, it is the Verona I bought from David. As I understand it they were nearly all built this way. I will give Dennis a holler and talk with him about it. Thanks for the help.

I believe drop can be altered through inletting as well. Coles lists the following on their website (I assume this is not limited to Berettas):
Adjust stock dimensions by inletting change on draw bolt stock $100 - 175

I've had lots of drawbolt guns bent. The drawbolt has never presented a problem.

That's a consideration, but with sideplates I don't know. . This gun is very much like my 687 Beretta except for the sideplates. I may contact Cole's and discuss it with them. No risk of breakage, or it returning to original specs. Thanks.

Sideplates could well be a problem for changing the inletting. If it's practical, I'd trust DES to do it well.
