Converting the bolt cut from one side to the other makes them weak in the wrist area? ???
I'am figuring Fred probably knows one heck of a "lot" more about that then I ever will.
All I know is if it's "laminated" it's tough as nails and hard to cut down even with a belt sander.
Maybe weaker if it's a solid wood sporter style or even a composit stock because it's thinner in that area? And maybe it depends more on the type of use it gets?
I guess I'll have to keep an eye on mine and if it ever shows a crack or brakes I'll know for sure.
