Now you are talking "old school" weapons and how I was brought up. My Grandfather would custom fit/cut butt stocks to fit as I grew up. I was also "given" weapons that "fit" my size and age. When I got older he hands on taught me how to fine tune a trigger and other handy little tricks. Did I mention he was a Sniper in WW I ??? I was taught by the Master of Master's. I just hope it doesn't become a lost art...
