Why would anyone in their right mind buy a gun in Spain that needed restocked and then have it imported....all this sight unseen. crazy

Can a PoW grip be altered to a straight/english stock?


Yes, some (but not all) can.

Gnomen, thanks for the input. I would imagine a lot would depend on if there was enough wood left at the neck. Thinking about a gun at Robin Hollow Guns (R.I.) but the gun I am interested in has a PoW grip and the gun would be too costly to purchase as is and do a restocking but if the PoW could be altered to straight/english then it might be worthwhile.

I believe there is a chapter in MM/DT's Shotgun Technicana that discusses what is involved with removing a POW or PG, if you have that handy.


Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Yes, that's a good chapter and more than once I've passed on a gun because the stock wasn't suitable for conversion based on the info in that chapter.

You will also have to deal with the trigger guard tang which is generally shorter on a pistol-grip and POW than on an English.
