Doc, your last post seems wackbards to me and I know you aren't backward, bashful, baleful, or frequently wrong. I'd think you'd go into neck forward (crawl?) with a high comb and stand that distinghished head upright above a really crooked stock. Also I note one set of fotos that barrel attitude (overhead) has some effect on whether the neck looks like an extension of the spine or not. Also, may have nothing to do with how it was done "in the day" but I note that Spanish clones with splinters are stocked very high and straight. I also have a Brum game gun with splinter and it sure isn't stocked low by my standards.
