So, Ive measured the distance from my nose to the back of my thumb on my 16ga. Laurona sxs and found it to be 3 1/4". The stock has a current LOP of 14 3/4". I'm 5'4" (on a good day) and have a slightly muscular build ; )
I've set up a jig and am ready to cut the stock to a 13 1/2" LOP. I will cut it 90deg. to the rib line which will leave a bit of pitch to the stock, from the comb line. Pulled the butt plate and found solid wood.
I may put the plate back on after the cut, or, a thin butt pad, and massage the pitch if I need to.
I paid $280 all in for the gun, and don't intend on selling it, so resale is not a concern. I had the chokes opened to skeet 1 and skeet 2, and it will be an upland bird gun.
Anything I missed before I power on?
Don.
