Rumor is they won't stay bent... and rumors have little value. Like most of your posts Frank, I bet you have no actual experience with the topic at hand. Have you had a stock bent or bent one yourself? If so did it return to the original position? I guarantee my bends. I have had a couple that were difficult and wanted to return to original position. Sometimes you need to bend a gun several times as spring back is very hard to gauge. You have to go farther than the desired final dimension and try to "figure" how much the gun will move back. I am happy to bend the gun again for no charge. Each piece of wood is different but in general they stay when bent.

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.

My rumor came from a well known Gunsmith that bent them...my guess the guns you bent were later sold so who knows.

Your guess would be wrong. I do not bend guns I am selling, only for clients.

Frank, you really need to curb your rumor mongering. There are other ways for you to draw attention to yourself.

I believe you Frank, you have no real knowledge regarding the bending of stocks other than what one Smith told you. I had a stock bent for cast and twist, or wrong cast at toe. I remeasure it every six months or so, and it has stayed as bent.
Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?
