the synthetic stock and "handedness"
Posted: 27 Jun 2015 21:27
Hi
as it happens I'm a left hander and the CJ is seeming like an interesting gun to add to my cabinet. So I have a few quick questions.
As the nearest shop with one to hold is about 80Km from here (about 50 miles) I have not yet held one. The cracking issues I read about here make me inclined towards the polycarbonate stock, but the curve of the 'hole' in the stock seems like it would make holding it left handed awkward.
So if anyone has one, and doesn't mind having a go of holding it left handed I'd be keen to hear if it fouls your hand or not.
If it does, do you think it would be amenable to "cutting back" to make it "leftie operable"??
Lastly, does the cracking mainly effect the wooden stocks? So are the poly stocks "rugged" I guess is the question.
Thanks
