Well, I asked this question in this line about wife's William Evans (ordered Nov 1900-delivered Jul 1903) - photos unfortunately held hostage by extortioners: (and anybody who is still paying those crooks deserves to be shunned): http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=475388

I asked a local gunsmith about this. His advice (and the collective advice of this board) was since the gun would be used by women (wife and daughter-in-law) for the most part, take the extension off, keep it and add a new (but period) orange pad. 13 1/2" stock (w/o the extension) with a 1" pad/spacer = 14.5" - pretty much a standard catch-all LOP. Still thinking about it. The gun has sentimental value and shoots beautifully and I have no interest in "collecting."
