I have a question to the gunmakers and stock makers. I have worked on several "custom" guns and have noticed there is a difference in how stocks are fitted to the metal.
I have had some in my shop that the wood is flush to the metal work and others that the wood sits above or proud of the metal, what is the "correct method" if there is such a thing and why are the 2 different approaches used?
The ones that are proud to the metal seem to be .032 or around 1/32 above the wood is there a reason?
Any help or information is appreciated I want to understand this.
