Thanks to all who responded to my recent question about shooting gloves. You guys gave me some great ideas to follow up. Another question, if I'm not wearing out my welcome.

I want to add 3/8 or 1/2 inch to the length of pull on my Bernardelli Gamecock by installing one of those spacers between the buttstock and plastic buttplate. They're sold pretty cheap at Midway and elsewhere. I'm talking about the polymer spacers that you sand or machine to fit.

I'm reasonably handy, and have access to tools (though not specific gunsmith tools). We're not talking about a real high-grade fowling piece here, though I sure don't want to mess up my Bernardelli.

Is installing one of these spacers a job I should tackle myself, or is it strictly a gunsmith type thing?

Pete
