Title: Thumbhole stock for BPS
Post by: Oconeeguy on June 28, 2012, 10:18:21 AM
I love the thumbhole stock on my Moss 535. It makes the gun feel like it was customized for ME. I just bought a lightly-used BPS stalker (12 ga., 3"), and ran across an aftermarket  laminate thumbhole stock for a BPS. Has anyone every tried this on their BPS? Also, does anyone make synthetic thumbhole stocks for BPS in black or camo?

Finally, how do you measure turkey spurs (how embarrassing to have to ask, but I have only harvested 1 turkey prior to this year)? I measure one side and this year's bird is 15/16ths, but if I measure the other side, its 1 &1/8th.

Now, how hard do you guys recon it would be to change the stock out & put on the thumbhole? Also, how about measuring my turkey spurs? I get 2 diff. measurements depending on which side of the spur i measure !
