I bent two yesterday. Pretty good results too. The first gun had an excessive amount of drop, 3" at the heel. It is a nice English semi-pistol grip gun and bent up 3/8" for much more usefull dimensions. The other gun had excessive cast off, about 5/8" and the tangs of the action is swept to the right for a right hand shooter.I bent the stock back to a little more than 1/4" of cast and it seems much better. After bending a little over a dozen guns, I feel that the type of wood makes a huge difference. Older american stocks are mucgh harder to bend than English walnut. I use the red lamps and canola oil and have had no discoloration as of yet. This is very interesting stuff.
