Um, like a recoil pad?


Yes, if it's removable. Problem is, there are a lot of guns having the ends of the butts hacked off to have a permanently installed extension added. IMHO, hacking off a buttstock to add an extension is just as bad as cutting a couple inches off the barrels to make it a good "brush gun". Both procedures are permanent, and I view every vintage gun that I own as nothing more than being in my possession for a very short period of time. Future owners will be glad I didn't do anything drastic to them. However as another posted pointed out, they are your guns, do what you want with them.
