I looked back at one of my old threads where I modded my Blowtorch and realized another issue with mine. One leg was longer than the other. I had to swap another Blowtorch leg onto mine so they would be the same length. Can't really remember what I did, but I forgot about that issue with Blowtorch too.
As for the stock on the flamethrower, I actually made mine retractable so that it wouldn't cause so much problems posing him. What feet did you use? They are perfect for him. That's the thing my Blowtorch custom is missing.

The stock is actually really easy. Hope you don't mind, but here's two pics showing how the modified stock. I also had to modify the upper arms so he can bend the arms more.
Ultimately though, he really needed the hinged wrists to be able to pull off any good poses.

That retractable stock is a great idea!
I also had to do quite a bit of modification to the upper arms to get him to hold the torch properly, and swap out the hands for some hinged ones as well. Luckily, the arms are molded in yellow, so I didn't have to worry about paint rub or repainting after all of the modification. HM

Blowtorch being one of my fave Joes, I really dig this updated interpretation! Nice work!

It's all about the shoes! Yeah totally agree those foot gear actually improved the look of an action figure that holds a flame thrower, it looks like they would be heat resistant.
