Stock Dimensions Mystery

I have a question related to the stock dimensions of my recently purchased 1910 12 gauge "C". My current measurement as provided by my reputable seller are LOP 13 3/4 with 1 13/16 DAC and 2 15/16 DAH with no cast. When I received my card it shows stock dimensions of 1 7/8 and 3 1/4 which from my research seems normal. However on my factory card the LOP of 14 1/8 is marked through and changed to the 13 3/4 and the weight from 7-2 to 6-14 showing a change before gun was shipped or maybe sent back???

So is this likely just a math issue that the "shortening" of the stock necessarily altered the stock dimensions that were not changed on the card. I am not smart enough to do that math or is it more likely my stock was bent at one time? It is comfortable the way it is (but I haven't shot it yet). But my ultimate question is if it has been bent in the past ( and the change from the card was not the result of LOP change) then does that preclude another attempt in the unlikely event I want to further decrease the drop? I tried :? to make this question shorter but it got the better of me!

Fox kept no records of "returned work", so any changes to the card would have been done before it left the factory. Decreasing the length of pull would have an affect on the drop at the heel, and you're only talking about a 1/4 inch change in drop. Without doing the math, you could turn the gun upside down on a flat table and hold a straight edge in place to represent the original length of the stock out to 14 1/8 inches and measure from that point down to the table to see if you end up with 3 1/4. It's crude, but may be a quick visual way to see if you would pick up a quarter inch drop over that span?

Thanks for a simple answer to a rather long question.
