If you need only an inch or so to extend the stock I would use a recoil pad. You can install it yourself or have a gunsmith install it. It should help a bunch. Slip on pads are ok but not as nice as a good recooil pad. If you feel you should have a new stock make certain to check the length of one on a Winchester 94AE Traditional Rifle to see if it is the same length - if so, save your $ and get a recoil pad installed.
