I am considering removing some wood on a Western Arms gun. In spite of the gun being excessively heavy weight reduction isn't my primary objective. I'd like to remove the pistol grip but equally as important I'd like to thin the wrist. Right now it is 4 11/16" in circumference. I would like to get it under 4 1/2" and 4 1/4" would be even better. Is there a minimum wall thickness on a through bolt stock that should be adhered to? This is a 7 1/4 lb sixteen gauge gun. The only thing I shoot in it is 2 1/2" shells with 7/8 oz at no more than 1200 fps, so the amount of recoil the wrist area of the stock gets subjected to isn't much.
