shotgun stock adjustments
« on: November 19, 2004, 10:23:22 AM »
Can anyone give me some suggestions as to who I can talk to about either building me a custom shotgun stock or modifying my existing stock.  I am looking for someone that can tweak the stock for proper fit to ensure I am hitting where I aim, i.e. length of pull, cast off, cheek height etc.

Thanks in advance.

i do this all the time with all kinds of guns especially flintlocks that need lots of work so i think i can help you. if you have a ribbed gun this is easy.. use a strip of 3/4 inch masking tape rolled into a 1 /8 inch roll and stick it to the rib and move it  to find the perfect place to put a second bead in the rib to stack the two like a snowman to be dead  on at 40 yards or that range your shooting at.. you must first decide on a typical load your gun likes in that gun for what your going to use it for.  then have the bead put in just in front of the tape by a smith or friend.. then screw bead up or down to fine tune it.. i file it of it needs to be left or right then super glue it when correct..  then you build up the stock with cardboard , tape and wood to fit your cheek exactly to matche the bead dead on.. ..  if no rib just start with the stock buildup.. when your done put camo tape from wall mart over the ugly arragnement, and then a bullet holding sock over that..  it will shoot great.. and can be modified for conditions, that is steel shoots differently than lead etc..  half bead up etc..  with practice youl start seeing the clays and feathered freinds fall to your newfound  soulmate..  its science, fit, accuracy,  and practice all rolled into one to make it come together.. your eye is the rear sight, when its all set up right and you practice skeeet, you can for get the beads and just look at the target and swing and shoot..  or for a long passing shot use the beads to correctly sight on the bird and squeeze.. sound easy?  right...  :roll:   good luck dave

MYKiss12,

Probably the easiest way to adjust your stock is to put a Moragn Adjustable Recoil Pad on it.  Cabela's has them for $24.99.  Here is the link:

I suggest the straight one.  Easy to install.  Don't modify the stock.  I have one on a Renington 870 that I use for trap shooting.  Works great.
