There are some people that can do wood extensions and I applaud them. I bought this Specialty Grade 12 ga., everything about it was great, nice crisp engraving, Hunter One-Trigger, ejectors, nice barrels, but the lop was 12 3/4" to the end of wood. Someone cut it and added a Pachmyer De-excelorator pad that was 1 1/2" long and just that alone weighed close to half a pound.
I added a piece of walnut that was not grain orientated and tried to blend the colors and fauxed some grain. I like it better than the recoil pad, and there are only two screws holding it on if I get some better grained walnut in the future.
