Gil Ash from OSP Shooting School explains the concept of 'third dimension cast off' in shotgun stocks. This refers to the bending of the buttstock, typically achieved by heating and shaping it, to correct for the shooter's shoulder pocket and eye alignment. Proper cast off ensures the shooter's eye is aligned with the gun's rib when mounted consistently, leading to more accurate shooting.

This video from Brownells showcases the Moliballistics Stock Bending Jig, a tool designed for firearm stock modification. The jig is presented as a mess-free solution that eliminates the need for refinishing or recheckering after bending a firearm stock. The video aims to demonstrate the functionality and benefits of this specialized gunsmithing tool.

This guide details a master gunsmithing technique for bending a firearm stock, as demonstrated by Jack Rowe. It emphasizes meticulous preparation, including disassembly and proper material selection for wrapping, followed by controlled heating using raw linseed oil as a heat conductor. The process requires patience and precision to achieve a permanent bend without damaging the wood.
