Can- I forgot one thing. You may find it a bit harder to balance a straight stocked gun if you keep the butt end as original. This depends on The barrel weight. Foxes with #3 or #4 barrels (as marked on the underside of the barrels in front of the barrel flats)are lightest, while #2 or #1 are quite heavy.
Steven Dodd Hughes remade a Fox Sterlingworth which he writes about in one of his very good books. He shows a straight hand SW and others with pistol grips, as redone. He recommends a gun balance 4-1/4" to 4-1/2" in front of the front trigger, which is just at or beyond the hinge pin on a Fox. Works for me.
The neat thing about restocking a gun is that it can be made to fit, and balance.
