I should probably just bite the bullet and get it bent first, and then shave what needs to be removed afterwards.

You will get very little bend out of this stock, Chaz. Save your money. Don't make this so difficult. I've shaved combs like this one numerous times and it works just fine. Like I mentioned in a previous post, start with a mini plane and then coarse sandpaper. A rasp can be used, but it can leave deep gouges that are difficult to sand out.
Just start about two inches in front of the butt pad and shave forward, working toward reducing the forward part of the comb all the way to the nose of the comb. Mount the gun often and check the sight picture. Stop planing well before you get it near where you want it, and finish with progressively finer w.o.d. sandpaper, like 100, 240, 320, 400, then 600 and 800 for final polish.
You can do this.
