Fixin' what Bubba did

[Gary]

BTW, when Bubba did his magic he also cut the stock down to 12.5" I have a ½" piece of Walnut that I've matched the outline of the base and shaped to fit flush with the butt AND a Limbsaver slip on pad to bring it out to the length that is ¼"off the OEM stock. Matches me quite well and sure makes shooting the shotgun more bearable on my reconstructed shoulder. Pop off the ½" insert and it's just right for my daughter.
All this because I didn't want to cut down the OEM stock.

LOP makes a difference.
i like 14-3/8 +/- a smidge on my shotguns, and about 13-3/4-7/8 on my rifles.
i can shoot a touch shorter shotgun [like up to 2"s shorter] no problem, but anything much longer kills me.

That’s a good looking patch!
Well done, Doctor!

 

[Gary]

Well, I'm no woodworker and this patch is an aesthetic/utilitarian fix just so I can use the gun. As far as "Doctor", I could better be described as a (wood) Butcher.

 

[Gary]

Finished it off and LOP is about as good as I could have asked for as well as the utilitarian patch and color match to the forearm.
