Well the rear of the stock was sanded down to fit that nasty recoil pad. Not a smart move to me. I'd rather see the pad sanded down to fit the gun, funny that way. I wonder if the gun got buffed at a refinish job or was just a poorly roll stamped gun? The LOP looks short to me. Still would break birds all day long as practical matter. No easy fix to the roll stamping. Surprised it got out of the factory like that if it did.
