Always been my guarantee Jim. I have only had to re-bend a couple in the 15 years I have been bending them and those were guns that just did not want to move. There are definite limitations on what a piece of wood will do. I would rather stop short than crack the wrist. I keep my clients in the loop when I bend a gun and if I feel I just can not hit the numbers they would like I consult with them. If he wants to push it I will but my preference would be to listen to what the wood is telling me and stop when it does not want to go farther. You can typically move a stock with moderate pressure from your thumb whey are warm, to a point. Once the wood gets close to its elastic limit it becomes much more difficult to move. When you have bent a few of them you can really feel it.
