Bonanza,

Believe it, stock bending is real, and good people do it. I have had three shotguns bent, and I am all the better for it.

First you have to have a professional fitting. That means spending some $$$$ to go to a shooting school or whatnot. I had a fitting with Keith Lupton, who could not have been better. Once you have done a fitting you will know your optimum dimensions. You can then have your shotties and rifles bent to the best approximation.

Go for it. It's the only way to fly.

I once had a best quality shottie imported from Australia. Everything was perfect in the deal, except when it came it had been bent for a lefty. Not anymore. It now fits me better than any shottie I own.

That illustrates you can bend and then bend back. The shottie is very very right-handed, from its beginning. No problem bending it back.

If you are a lefty, do it. Don't look back.
