Hey all,
I got to wondering today about stock/grip shape. Unmentionable rifles have pistol grip stocks, but I don't think I've ever seen a pre-1865 rifle with one. The european shützen rifles kinda come close, but is there any reason a full pistol grip stock shape didn't appear until later?
Is is just chance? A problem of ergonomics? Something else?
Thanks for your input.
Cheers,
