I need to replace the stock on my Drilling. The local (Bangladesh) gunsmiths and their craftsmen will turn out a reasonable stock in short order, but it is the dimensions that I require. My old stock has disappeared after the gunsmith fitted a stock of standard sxs dimensions i.e. 1 5/8” x 2 1/4” x 14”. But while I managed to zero the Rifle the shotgun barrels shot a foot high at 25 yards. No amount of increasing the drop at heel and comb would change the situation. A gun shop in Italy, where I was visiting, very kindly measured a couple of drillings for me. They were 1 5/8” at comb, 2 3/4” at heel. My drilling had a stock resembling a Greener rational stock originally. It is a Greifelt of Suhl 16x16x8x57JR with 25 inch barrels. It was a dead ringer for one that used to be on the Hallowell site.
Any advice, info, dimensions of your Drilling stocks would be much appreciated. Thank you.
All the best
