This is on a 16 ga L.C. Smith Specialty Gr., that someone cut the LOP to 12 3/4"

I faux the grain with markers. I did not dress up the end of the original cut stock. It is held on by two wood screws only, in case I want to try and match the two pieces better.


There are several 1-1/2" recoil pads available. A good 1" pad and a 1/2" black spacer will also work well. Both require proper fitting to the butt. Either would be far more attractive than JDW's picture, IMO.
