Sabotloader,

Yep, when I took the recoil pad off I noticed that it was hollow and that's one of the concerns I had - take off 3/4" of stock would the pad still fit snug in the stock. The screw pillars or whatever they call them are sort of recessed about an inch or so down into the stock well and could always dremel them out a little more if the pad bumped them. I'm not sure if I will try it or not. Hate to ruin the stock and have to buy another one. I'm going to have to think on this a little. Would be nice to have a little shorter stock though. Thanks.

Jim
