Does anyone manufacture pre-fit spacers to significantly increase the length of pull on plastic stocks? I need a length of pull around 15+ inches for a stock to fit. I guess what I am looking for are spacers and replacement pads that are thick, like an inch or more. I don't care what it detracts from the rifle in terms of looks- I punched myself in the face again with the back end of a scope a few weeks ago out in Montana, and I'm real tired of it. I have had wood stocks lengthened with spacers and pads, and I don't like losing a rifle for several months to get it accomplished- I've also done it myself, and the process takes a lot out of me, to the point that I don't want to do it. | ||

tin can, I know pacmhyr makes a decellerator that's an inch think, I guess with a couple of spacers one could pick up and inch and 1/4 to an inch and half or so. They make them in grind to fit, so maybe that could fix you up. good luck--Don | |||

tin can, Try Brownells. They will have everything you need, including the acraglass to glue them on. Many thicknesses of spacers, which can be "stacked". Pads can be had up to 1/8" thick too. I don't know about "pre-fit", but a 'smith really shouldn't several months?! Try a local guy for the best turnaround time. Secondly, I don't know what you mean by "plastic"? You would be better served by having the rifle restocked with a good laid up stock. You can then have it the color and length of pull you need! http://rimrockstocks.com/ | |||

Don- by plastic I meant any synthetic from the usual manufactures; I have several spacers, 1/2 inchers, and three thick recoil pads I'll put on three of my rifles as time goes by. I appreciate the responses, I guess what I'm asking is does any manufacturer make spacers that are prefit to a particular gun company's synthetic stocks, or a stock manufacturer's particular line of stocks. and I'll check Brownells and Midway. thanks again. | |||

i lengthened this stock about 1.12 inches... it came with a 5/8 pad took a 1 in spacer, ROUGHED it to fit, cut a fillet on the edges to fit closley inside the stock about .250-- so .75 total length added, and used expoxy to fit to the stock and make it a perm setup then put a 1 in pad on it, .365 more, fitted as normal. filled any gaps with expoxy, sanded in, and painted it with krylon worked out okay opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

you are exactly what I've been waiting for- a man who tried and succeeded at what I'd like to do, without me having to ruin four or more pads trying to figure it out. so actually, once I got the spacer edge right to fit what would be the open end of the butt (no laughter), epoxying the pad to the spacer and sanding in a fixture would get me there, it appears. I've not bought a rifle with a synthetic stock because I didn't think I could get it longer as easily as what you have shown in your post. now I'll just have buy one, I guess... thank you. | |||
