Since I am planning a Fox project, I will dig out Steven's book and reread the information on tang bending for custom projects. However, although Steven bends tangs, we have to remember that the change in drop at comb for most of us is the difference between 2 3/4" on an early Fox to maybe 2 3/8" or 2 1/4" on our custom guns. Possibly more than we would want to make up in extra comb nose height, but for some of us it may not be too much. My early A project gun has about a 2 1/2" drop at comb so I won't need much of a bend unless there is some other reason for a straightened tang that I will find out when I reread Steven's book. Doug and Steven, is there a reason to straighten the tang if the difference in drop at comb is not too much different?
