Predator BK warped

[Vahmurka]

Got a call from a customer requesting whether we could straighten Predator BK (or BK2, don't know yet). Both the shaft and butt are warped according to him. Therefore I have questions in regard with this one.
Are BK butts laminated just like Pred shafts? I can't find anything about how they are constructed.
If they are I have doubts about the result, and thus any work might be useless. Even if we manage to make it straight chances are it will bend back.

Any advice?

According to the Predator web page, the BK2 butt is "4 piece - rear weighted". No clue if that means 4 piece radially laminated, although I kinda remember hearing the BK butts were radially laminated, but I can't say so with authority. I'm sure someone hear on AZ knows for sure.

As far as the warp goes, you'll just have to wait to see. Many times what customers think is "warped" is really just a bent pin, or a couple other things.

Good luck!
