I've never encountered the phrase "cripple-stock" before. In relation to the Kuchenreuters gun, is it the pronounced cheek rest, which looks very "dish-like" in the second photos, that warrants the use of that phrase?
I think we've all seen the drastically bent stocks made for cross dominant eye situations (eg. R handed, L dom eye).
Would this suit the "cripple-stock" descriptive?
Or perhaps it has nothing to do with a stock shaped to better suit a shooter's particular need because of an infirmity, but rather strictly applied to a stock that is simply fashioned a certain way with NO relation to the shooter who will own the gun?
I'm quite curious and would be very grateful for an explanation of this term. Many Thanks - Marc
