Evening gents, Have a sporterized No1 Mk3 with what seems to be an approximately 12 3/4" LOP. Looking at options to increase the LOP, they seem to be: Replace the stock- would prefer not to have to do this. Slip on recoil pad- possible but not permanent. Extend the existing stock. Does anyone make extensions? Otherwise looks like just removing the butt plate and adding a piece shaped to mate up to the old stock. Will probably top it off with a regular rubber recoil pad. Thoughts? |

Don't forget drilling for the butt cap storage tube! Personally I'd just go for a slip-on rubber butt pad & remove it when not in use to prevent marking the stock.

Thanks for the replies. As mentioned it's already been sporterized so originality isn't a concern. Have to recut the slots on the butt plate screws, will update on how that goes. |

| It would be nice to have a replacement rubber buttpad to switch out the metal one! |

| How aboot an aftermarket L-E Monte Carlo? With one bolt you can put a longer pistol grip stock On then just put the original On when dislaying. |
