Bending a straight stocked sidelock?? #181279 03/04/10 10:39 AM

I need to have it bent in 1/8" and have some wood taken off the top. My concern is that the Gabri has a long trigger guard that runs along the bottom of the wrist. Is it possible to bend this 1/8" back without tourqing the whole gun into problems? Thanks
