battle,
It seems to me that bending the frame tangs really depends on the geometry of the existing vs planned stock design. If your existing stock's comb height is fine, then you probably won't have to bend the tangs.

If you look at Mike Cambell's dynamite post in the thread link below, you'll see that he probably had to bend the tangs up to increase the height of comb but avoid a huge up-bump at the front of the comb.

I'd like to hear from the pro's whether the long trigger guard tang (not frame tang) adds significant strength to the stock or is primarily esthetic (sp?).
