No, I'll be in the area, for most of the bird season..I'll be back up there in July, afte I catch all the Tuna in the Sea of Cortez, and I'll see what I can put together. Sides, the Sheriff likes you guys, and the County can use the money....

Chuck, how does your Parker compare to your Ithaca small gauges weight wise and handling?

Treb,
The CSM/Repro setup is about 8-9 oz heavier than either the original Ithaca NID or the Beschi NID repro. The CSM/Repro setup handles very well on the range. Shooting it is in no way hampered by the extra weight, probably quite the opposite. I do need to bend the stock down to get a lower drop. But that was true when the gun was just a 28ga. I have that other forende iron for the gun and I plan to fit it up and make a small BTFE.
Chuck,
Maybe the sheriff can put us all up at the jail?
It'd be nice if we could find a place that could lodge all of us in one place with restaurants and bar so I can get Mike drunk and pry his shooting secrets out of him.

Chuck,I would think the weight forward will make for a fine shooting gun. Congratulations. Who would you use for stock bending? I would like to get a little more drop in my 28 gauge Repro also.

Dave,
I'm going to bend the stock myself. I started building a bending fixure and need to finish it. A friend showed me how to bend a stock and I think I'm ready to do one. But I'm sure you can find qualified gunsmiths in your area.

Thanks Chuck, I spoke with my gunsmith Abe Chaber here in CT and he won't do it.

Possibly Mike Orlen in Mass? I think he helped some members here with their bending fixtures by providing his design info.
