This should get complicated quickly.

On vintage American doubles, many times the early stock dimensions had 3"+ drop at comb.
And, the action straps (as well as the trigger plate) are curved to accommodate the stock drop.

On occasion, I have read reference to bending the action straps upward, taking some of the drop out of the system when restocking.

Would anyone care to talk about How this might be done? or the pitfalls it may contain?

Clearly the hand pin has to be one such issue to resolve if one bends the straps.


Out there doing it best I can.
