Ladies and Gentlemen,
Right handed but left eye dominant? Check this out (pay close attention to the last two pictures).
Shotgun Regards,
Terry

Michael RobinsonI know it's heresy. But for God's sake how about closing your left eye!?
I get dizzy just looking at that Rube Goldberg looking hunk of bent wood. I'd go cross-eyed just trying to mount the thing.
But the rest of it sure looks nice. And what a price--$5K for a best quality English sidelock gun!
Probably cost $20K more though to straighten the tangs and locks and restock it.

GunacologistBeen there-done that, as I have been blind in my right eye for 55 years. The problem I had was, that I get a bloody nose easily & with this crooked stock your nose is laid over the comb.
It was a lot simpler to just learn to shoot left-handed.

mehulkamdarThe late John Amber had a rifle made up with a stock that allowed him to use his left eye when he started to lose vision in his right one - he wrote about in "The Gun Digest review of Custom Guns" many years ago (I think it was shortly before he left us) and I have the article somewhere in case anyone is interested.

thanks for posting the pictures, fun to see such gun.
I nothing strange about it, the gun is made for soeone who is either blind or dominant left eye. I guess of the adjustable comb that he have been ganing/loosing weight since the weight effects you neck and face dimentions. My guess it and old mans gun.
I have seen quite a few with ths type of stock, and shoot a few since I'm ambidextrous. It will cost a few cents and a bit more to get it restocked.
