butt pad won't mate up with the shortened stock
I shortened (12 inch LOP) both my black plastic and the wooden stock. First, I measured and marked my stock with pencil, then put a piece of quick release making tape on so they would not splinter or chip. I made a jig for my bandsaw (a sled) so teh stock was absolutely flat. I then just put the stock in the sled and slowly made my cut. Teh holes in the recoil pad still fit in the same holes. You wil have to sand the recoil pad down to match stock to compensate the piece removed. Keep the masking tape on and leave the recoil pad slighly "proud" unless you plan on refinishing the stock (wood stock only).My stock is to long on my 500. I have searched you tube and can't find nothing on how to cut it. Has anyone done this? Need to make it shorter so I can shoot it comfortably. Would like to put the butt pad back on to. Thanks
