No More Cheek Pain!

[paulab]

Ha! I was going to shoot my Centermark fusil de chasse on Saturday so I had it set up in the gun cradle on the workbench on Friday night to clean the grease out of the bore. I KNEW how my cheekbone would feel on Saturday night. Just then, my eyes spotted a wood rasp lying on a shelf. I figured I had nothing to lose so I grabbed it and made the sawdust fly off the "hump" on the top of the stock. I took off about a half inch of wood and flattened and rounded the top profile, sanded, matched the stain, and applied 3 coats of finish all before beddy-by. WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MADE!!! Now I can shoot it ALL DAY without the slightest pain. The stock still has "the look" of a fusil too. If I didn't tell you, you'd never know it was done. YIPPEE! cheers Paul

glad to hear of your success! "if it ain't broke, don't fix it..." on the other hand, if it don't work right, make it proper!
