DoolinDalton Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hi everyone, hope you're all safe from the lergy! My son has a Lincoln Premier Gold 28 gauge and when I bought it for him (a good while back) I had 1 inch taken off the stock in order for a good fit for him! As he's grown a bit (12 years old) he's now shooting either my 30 inch Beretta or my mates 28 inch Browning (both in 12 gauge). I fancy trying the Lincoln when decoying and walking around, the main reason being that I can load 28G (and have done) but as the stock is shorter, I was wondering what I can use to extend it, on a temporary basis. I want to keep the solid stock short just in case any of my sons friends or any junior members of our club need to use it. There seems to be many different 'extenders' available but what is the best one? The best place for advice is obviously HERE and I'm looking forward to your replies. Cheers.

aga man Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) I have used a Jack pyke neoprene one in the past{slip on recoil pad} that has 3 foam inserts. might not make up the inch but will be close to it. It lasted well with over 1000 rounds before I sold the gun. think it cost about £10 Edited March 14, 2020 by aga man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 A leather slip on extender slip on pad. Many will have one they don't need and would be happy to sell here on PW. Or try eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisdom Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Jack pike one did the job for mine as they grew up. Just dont leave it on the gun as it will stain the stock. I had a leather one as well but cannot remember the make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Pop it down the shop and try a few of the slip on extensions out. I use one of my wife's lanber. Don't leave it on the gun in the cabinet as it will mark the stock. About £15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
