Browning 525 - Lefty Stock?

[BerniePEI]

I've been considering the purchase of a local, gently-used 525 Sporting. The only thing holding me back right now is the stock. I'm not too worried about the cast (or lack of cast) in the stock, but the right palm swell is a bit awkward. I have seen it mentioned that 525s are available with a factory left-hand palm swell, but I'm wondering if such a factory stock might be available a la carte.

I haven't found any mention on Browning.com or anywhere else on the web... Does anyone know where I might find such a creature? If not, does anyone know of a good aftermarket lefty stock for the 525? I would prefer bolt-on parts to a send-away job, but any recommendations are welcome.

Midwest Gunworks in the US has replacement Browning stocks, including LH palm swell for $354 US. They don't say whether they're cast on or cast off or the cast can even be changed on a Browning. Maybe some other GunNutz out there knows.

Thanks, Moose. I did go ahead and pick up that 525. I'm shooting it alright with the factory stock, but I will keep Midwest in mind.

Not sure about the 525 but most Citoris have neutral cast. That offside palm swell can be taken off the the stock checkered and refinished by a reasonably competent stockmaker.

That sounds like an even better idea. Thanks again.
