Well, yes but there has to be a more elegant solution for such a nice stock. A friend had a Purdey hammergun lengthened with ebony that was checkered and included toe and heel caps. It was a very handsome solution.

I am 6'1" with monkey arms. This is the best solution I have found for a large increase in LOP. It is cheap and the stock remains in the factory original configuration. http://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/PMR045

I think Brownell's just announced that they are stocking a line of relatively thin (0.600") hard rubber pads. Or you could use a Ruger rifle pad. Or a Winchester 1922 (I think) red pad with the Win markings ground off. It's not at all hard to add 1/2"-3/4". If you like horn, use the horn. I would not consider a lace-on or slip-on pad if I had other options. I have had a couple of short hammer guns fitted with the CSMC thin hard brown pads, and they look like like they belong there. Yours seems to be worthy of horn or ebony.

The wood on this gun has been cut down in the past. It is not the original length. It does have a checkered butt now at 14", but also has 2 screw holes that have been plugged. The gun is an old hammer gun from a 3rd tier (or maybe 4th?....Bozard) maker and really the stock is nicer than the gun. This wood should have been used on a higher quality gun IMO.
Socialism is almost the worst.

Here's a poor quality photo of the Bozard for those who are interested. To me, with the short stock this gun 'looks out of proportion'. It has 30" barrels. [img:center]  [/img]

That sheds a little different light on it. I was thinking it might be attached to a Holland, a Grant, or a Lang.
A piece of rosewood that is checkered always looks nice, as long as the dimensions are closer to those of a buttplate, rather than an extension.
I don't care for extensions, or pads. I have a few guns with pads, but, I'd never buy into an extension.
Best,
Ted
