My preferred dimensions:

LOP 15 1/2"
DAC 1 5/8"
DAH 2 1/4"
Cast Off 1/8"

I'm 6'3", 280lbs and sleeve of 36".

I will add to that the fact I have a significant slope to my shoulders.

r, long arms require long lop...


most pre war double guns would require stock aids to fit your needs...

Ed,

You are correct, most double guns I see listed are woefully inappropriate for my build. So much so that I have a hard time imagining who they would fit.

I was fortunate to find a pre-war English double that only required a slip-on leather pad to get me the length I need, all other dimensions were correct. My L.C. Smith however needed significant intervention to get to 15 1/2" LOP, DAC and DAH are close enough to work.
