urban_winter Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Is it feasible to get a RH shotgun modified for a left-hander? Any ideas how much it would cost and who could do it in the SW London, Surrey area? U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 If you're referring to cast on it is possible but does depend on the gun/wood I believe. Not all guns have a significant amount of cast off anyway but it may be better to start off with a left hander if possible as I know from experience that stocks can move back, it can take a couple of goes before a permanent set is achieved. What gun are you having modified and by how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Feasible but better to start with a left handed stock and have that fitted most makes do LH stocks and you can buy LH stocks depends on budget and gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shropshire_Lad Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hi, had a right hand sxs cast on by a huge amount, no guarantee but for me it worked and has stayed put. The trigger guard was bent to shape so that has helped keeping it cast on, not cheap but can't remember how much but well worth it for me. No one will guarantee it, things can go wrong. atvb Paul.

welshwarrior Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 You can change the cast of most guns with bending. But that is not the only thing that makes a gun left or right handed the angle of the toe is also different. So a right handed gun bent from cast on to cast off will never be quite right for a lefty in theroy!! Will you ever notice I don't know and have never tried it so can't comment on the practical side. You phone Dennis at UK Gun Repairs and ask for advice they will be honest and do very good work at realistic prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougall Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Sorrell Bros(t/a East Grinstead guns) cast a s/s for me a few yrs ago,including triggers etc...think was @ £150. Are you confident in the measurements you want/whoever has fitted you? Bending stocks is at your risk(possible to snap). egguns is website if google. atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
