NorfolkAYA Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Hi all, Found a gun i really like, however the stock is 13 1/2", how easy is it to extended this to 14 3/4". Is it just a case of putting a bigger pad on? Cheers pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Bigger pad and having it ground to fit unless it is a Beretta then they often fit straight out of the box. It sounds like the stock has been cut down quite considerably and may need to be made up with wood or ebonite.

Not easy to get a fit you will be happy with, the tapers and materials can be a ***. to cut and shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkAYA Posted February 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Yeah I was going to get a gunsmith to fit. I see avalon do a beretta spacer for field guns and a microcore pad to go on top. Just wondering whether if these would do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I’ve recently damaged my back so I’m fitting a piece of walnut to my wife’s beretta 20 to go from 13 1/2 to 15 1/4, it’ll never be really pretty as it has to come off but It’ll function.

JohnfromUK Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I had one (my Darne) extended in wood with about 1 inch extension. It had been severely shortened at some time. One side is very well matched and not 'obvious' at all, but the other side is a bit more noticeable. I don't myself like softish rubber pads, although the Silvers and better still, leather covered Silvers are not so bad. Remember the balance will change ...
