Not to hijack BrentD's thread, but if I may ask Steve, if you don't loosen the drawbolt a bit so that the head and washer can slip a tiny bit to a new position wouldn't the constant tension that the draw bolt would be under, by being sprung, increase the chance of the wood going back to it's original position? Or, at least, after the bend is done, slacken the draw bolt a bit and allow the head to reposition itself, then retighten it, relieving any lateral tension the bolt would be under?
Just trying to understand the process better before trying it myself on my Dickinson .410.
Thanks.
