Guest rimotu66 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have taken my Ultra XS in to be shortened after struggling with it all season, it is having 1/2" off and a kickeze pad fitted but now I am panicking that it will still not fit and I will not be able to sell it after having it shortened. I rang the Gun shop up today to ask if they have started it and they have so its to late to back out, can anyone reassure me that I have done the right thing?

vmaxphil Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 make sure you get the piece of wood they cut off back so in the future a stocker can match it back on if needs be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rimotu66 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I will ask for it and am sure all will be ok as it is being done by a gun smith with a very good reputation, it is the gun shop I bought it from. I am just panicking a bit in case it still doesn't fit and the stock shortening affects the balance etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 WHO decided that it required shortening in the first place ? If you are of average build, there is a good chance that it did require a 'bit' off as they come out with a stock of almost 15". Unless you are seriously shortening the stock, you will not devalue it, just be prepared to leave the Kick-Eeze on, if you get rid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been clumsy mounting it all season and a mate of mine with long arms said 'you would struggle with mine then' we compered the two and mine was longer (gun stock that is ya pervs) so I went back to the shop that I bought it from and they agreed it needed 1/2" taking off. Jeez that sounds like a script from a porn movie dont welcome me I've been here 41 yrs. . . Pah, 47 here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtaylor Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I doubt 1/2" would make very much difference to the value, and as long as you shoot better and are happier with it then thats all that matters. As has been said keep the off cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know them personally but have bought a few guns from them and ammo etc, have always been very happy with the service, they even went out of there way to get a new magazine foc for my .223 Steyer Prohunter They are the only gun shop I use even though they are not the closest.
