FQ, a little searching would have probably found SEVERAL companies that did the same thing where you were at the time.
You don't get a new stock, they custom bend the one you have. If you have a high end blaster why would you pinch pennies on accessories ?
Granted you didn't know about it at the time, but I want to make sure that you understand you got rid of heirloom guns now worth several thousand $ each, and back then the fitting would have cost about the same as what you laid out in cash to trade, maybe less  ;D

You may now go kick yourself, repeatedly  ;D
Actually no kicking. I could have only afforded to keep one. All of them were well built but plain Jane. I did prefer the Webley in looks and function, but the stock had a small crack and would have had to be replaced eventuallly (maybe by me, maybe my grandkids), but it was a time bomb which is why is was $2k rather than a $10k gun. The thing is, by tradig these I discovered I like SxS a lot better than O/U and I got to shoot some nice ones. If I could have kept them all I would have, but given my budget, one expensive shot gun was all I could keep and the one I have is perfect for me.
