I picked up a 10fcp with choate stock today and might go back and get it. I'll be using the gun for bench shooting and hunting. I like the shooting hand placement, LOP, etc but That flat wide forend really didn't get my jollies going and would actually like it to be a bit thinner. Does anybody see a functional problem with me slimming it down? Has anybody done that? When i was holdin it, I could feel it bend in my hand as I squeezed it, so I'm sure it's not too tough to file down or shave off.

And maybe an even more important question might be, is there another stock that I should buy instead of ruining the choat?
