I wasn't really sure how to title this.

I tried a different stock on my 1943 NPM and with it the gun shoots about 6" high at 50 yards even with the rear sight on the lowest setting.

Here is the background. I recently got a 1943 NPM from the CMPicon. The gun has a Buffalo Arms barrel. I took it shooting and found it a bit more accurate than my 1943 Underwood. Also, I found that the NPM would function reliably with soft points which the Underwood would not always do. The only problem was that the NPM had a potbellied stock, which I did not like compared to the Underwood's stock.

So I switched stocks.

The problem is that when I run the NPM in the Underwood stock the gun shoots about 6" high at 50 yards even with the rear sight at the lowest setting, while in the potbellied stock it had not problem shooting dead on at that distance.

Any thoughts as to why this occurs?

Should I just change back to the original stock that it sights in with?

thanks
