Thanks for the advice. Yes I wanted more drop. I now lay the gun on a table with the stock sticking out and put a bag of shot on the muzzles and one on the top of the stock at the butt. A couple of heat lamps on the wrist that's wrapped with a oil coated sock that's tied on. I use to use a fixture but that lead to a cracked stock or two because I was sometimes forcing the stock to bend. Now it just bends on it's own. Or doesn't - without the cracks. I think I'll clamp the stock even though it won't be a bend for cast. As for the opening up the bolt hole - I was just thinking about if I wanted to remove the stock in the future with a bolt being bent and any trouble it would be. Guess that's a bridge to cross in the future.
