Whacker Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I have a full length Nova 20-ga and would like to give it to my son but he needs a shorter stock. Is it possible to cut the stock down and what would you do then for a butt pad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novaking Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 You could cut it down and put a limsavers slip on recoil pad. The biggest problem you will have is the stock gets narrower the closer you get to the trigger. How much are cutting off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofugra Maltlicra Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 If you take the existing butt pad off and look inside the stock you will see a ridge. If you cut the stock down to just before that ridge you can then put a pad that Benelli offers. The same one that come on the Nova youth model. That is how it is done with the Nova that come as short stocked youth models. I believe this only applies to the 20-ga version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
