I am with Geoff on this one. I much prefer a nicely ground recoil pad and a spacer, to a wood extension where the wood grain doesn't match, and can't unless the stock was shortened from the original length and the piece was saved. Even then it takes an expert stockman to completely hide the joint line. Like them or not, and I do,
recoil pads look much more original than a joint line around the butt. Many thousands of vintage doubleguns were supplied (new) with recoil pads. I've never heard of one being shipped to the original consignor with a wood extension.
The only way I would consider a wood extension would be if Mark Larson did it.
