Franchi,
I have not measured any creeping back of my stocks. I bent a Parker Repro about 3/8" down and it was bent about a 1/4" earlier. It has stayed there for more about 6 months. Mark has his gun with the "big bend" so I don't know about that one. Maybe he'll see this and check that gun.
I don't have enough bending experience to conclusively say, but I think the creeping back over time has to do with residual stresses. I believe that letting the stock set in the desired bend position and keeping the heat on for a longer time relieves those stresses.
