I just checked the stock of one s/s how it fit me.
All is Ok. but except the cast-off. It is insufficient.
How can I make it bigger?
Thank you in advance.

Send to Mike Orlen and have him bend it. No point in shooting a gun that points the wrong way. He has done half a dozen for me.

Agree with the concept of heat bending, but I'll bet you can find a good gunsmith closer to you than Mike is. Any suggestions for a gunsmith in or near Ukraine?

some heat from lamps and a oily rag around the wrist will get it bent. Awhile back there was a thread on how to do it- maybe a search will find it. Paul

Ivans: if you have no one who can bend the stock and wish to ADD cast off, and are a right hand shooter; remove wood from the left side of the comb (which will move your head and eye more to the right when the gun is mounted.) This will of course be unattractive, and require refinishing the stock, but will accomplish your purpose.

Thank you. It is good idea to send it to the gunsmith but:

1. Here in Ukraine there aren't too many gunsmith.
2. I would like to do it by myself.

to bladesmith

could you be so kind to help me to find this topic? I can't find it.


to revdocdrew: exactly - "This will of course be unattractive".
