I just don't like the add on ribs on my Verona O/U .410/28 set. It shoots too high without them, and I want to bend the stock, increasing DAC to where it needs to be. Adding the 1/4" high adhesive backed add on ribs corrected the POI. I'd like to do it myself with the hot oil treatment. Two questions:
1. Since adding 1/4" to the top of the rib corrected the POI, wouldn't increasing DAC by 1/4" do the same thing?
2. I understand from others who have done this that, when bending a drawbolt gun. you slacken the drawbolt a little, then proceed as usual. Is this correct? If so, what keeps the tension that will be on the drawbolt, springing it downward, from eventually returning the stock to it's original drop? Is there another way to get by this, like maybe using an undersized flat washer under the head of the draw bolt, allowing it to slip "upwards" somewhat, and thus relieving the downward spring that the bolt will be under after bending the wood downwards?
Thanks, SRH

Stan, I can not comment on number 1, no experience with ribs of that type. I can say if you want to drop the POI then your comb does need to drop. 1/4" at the comb roughly equates to 3/4" at the heel, plus spring back. A pretty darn big bend. Number 2, I personally tighten the cross bolt as much as possible before a bend. Otherwise the wood pulls away in the direction of the bend and crushes in on the opposing side. I would try a smaller bend and see how much it helps. It is easy enough to bend it again to get more drop. The best advice I can give you is if the wood does not want to move then don't force it. You should be able to push it with firm thumb pressure. Steve

DES told me to increase the through hole one size larger, so the bolt doesn't put pressure to return to original.

Excellent. Thanks much to you both.
If I can't get enough with bending I will get the rest by working down the comb. It's primarily a target gun, and getting it to shoot right is top priority.

One, humble, suggestion.
Please buy a replacement stock while they are available. Then work on one of the stocks Why the second stock might even fit you better.
Just sayin ....
