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
