I did not shoot the try gun. He simply took some measurements. It was kind of funny because I called him about a year ago and he wanted $350 for a fit and shoot. When I called him a month ago he said it was $100 for a fit and he did not mention shooting the try gun.
I think I will try the spacers and repattern the gun. Seems I threw away the pattern targets and can't remember for sure if it shot right or left although I am pretty sure it shot right. I'm sure it shot high.
As far a bending the stock, he said he didn't know if you could bend it that far but was willing to try. That is what make me nervous. I'm going to ask Mike Orlen about this since he did the first bend to make it cast neutral. Mike has always been very good to work with and I trust his opinion.
