chriskc04 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 My first Benelli and my first post on the forum... This is a good day. I bought (and fired) a supernova today and LOVE it. I've been more of an 870 guy in the past, but LOVE everything about the supernova... except the length of pull. It's a little long for me. I have the supernova with pistol grip (#20160). I understand the comfortech stocks come with different inserts to adjust the LOP. I've looked around for something similar for the PG stock to no avail. Anyone have any ideas? I would greatly appreciate any help or direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody6.0 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 The Comfortech uses shims for drop & cast and different sized buttpads for LOP. These pads however are not only expensive but do not fit the PG stock either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriskc04 Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Man, that's unfortunate. At first glance, they look like they would... I'd post a link, but since my post count must be over 5, the board won't allow me to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody6.0 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Yep they look very close until you pull them out and compare the part that holds it in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGWILD Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Perhaps a gunsmith with a belt sander could grind yours down a bit? I have never seen the Supernova Pad and stock area but seems that might be only option and much cheaper than changing to the Comfortech Stock System? So i assume you did not check LOP prior to buying at a retailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needinga8gauge Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 a pistol grip or steady grip "detached grip"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dntama Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Are you trying to make the LOP longer ? It is already quite long at 14.5 inches. To shorten it you need to cut the stock and use a filler like marine-tex of devcon plastic steel to allow the new pad to screw in place.

Dntama Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I'm trying to make it shorter. Would I be able to remove the stock using that method? With the PG stock, I need to remove the stock ever time I take the trigger group out Yes, you use the epoxy only at the top and bottom edges of the stock leaving the middle open. I used brass wood inserts and machine screws to attach a new buttpad and it can be removed easily. You can also use wood screws and screw the buttpad directly into the epoxy.

Dntama Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Look here for pics of how I shortened my stock. http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21177 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
