I've done it but only for myself (I am not even an internet gunsmith). It is a job you can do if you want. Takes some space and the building of a substantial jig, but it is a fun project.

I bend stocks fairly often. Bending for drop is usually more difficult than for cast and pistol grip stocks tend to be more difficult to bend than straight hand stocks. That said, German guns usually have stocks of thin shell walnut which bends better than black. Typically a bend at heel will yield about 1/3 the change at comb. How much change you want and current dimensions will factor heavily into the feasibility of the bend.

300$ for a bend. I'm not taking work at the moment but stock bends are an exception.

Dennis Smith has a lot of experience bending stocks. You can PM him for current pricing.
