Is it possible to bend a straight grip stock up to decrease DAC?

Yes as long as it is isn't fastened to the receiver with a through bolt but it may look funny.

I sent a 20-ga. Sterlingworth with its original pistol gripped stock and a 2 3/4" D@H to Mike Orlen with instructions to bend it up as much as he felt comfortable doing. It was returned 8 days later with a 2 3/8" D@H...not sure exactly how much the D@C moved--but it had to move some.

Has it stayed there or did it lose some of the bend over time? I have a 12 ga skeet and upland that I love but I see almost 60% of the rib when I mount the gun and my poi is about 6-8" high at 35 yards.

I need to either fix the stock, get it restocked, or learn to shoot with chin weld instead of cheek weld!
I'd like to try the first option first.

Do you have mike's contact info?

It stayed, but I ended up removing, then selling it in favor of a special project.
