    To eliminate chip out, I like to take two utility razor bladed and clamp them together using vice grips. I place enough paper between the two blades prior to clamping that equals the thickness of the sawblade I am using. I use the two clamped blades and a straight edge to make a cut as deep as I can around the wood. This makes a perfect groove the exact width of the blade with no chip out on either piece. This way I can use the same piece later if I want to just shorten the LOP and reattach. Precutting deep with a razor blade will stop chip out. And that's the way it is...

    The recoild pad wiil be too big. However, it's not too dificult to trim it down to fit it to the stock. If you search for it, Larry has a video on fitting recoil pads to a shotgun. If you and your dad can't handle the fitting of the pad, a local gunsmith could knock it out relatively easy.

      @@Ryan-jy5hi Sure, but ask around. Word of mouth is a big deal in the gunsmithing trade. Ask guys at your local shooting range, gun club or gun shop. Still can't find anyone? Use Google. Look for a professional looking website with pictures. No one within reasonable driving distance? You can always mail a long gun through USPS.
      In my experience, "finding" a good gunsmith isn't the problem. There are lots of guys out there who do good work. The problem is that people want a good gunsmith that is; a) local, b) has no wait time, c) doesn't charge hardly anything for their work. When they can't find all the above, they complain because there are no "good" gunsmiths.

    I'd use a miter box to keep the cut square on the butt end...but, what hell do I know...I'm just an old Arkie from the woods...I"m fixing to cut one to 13 or 13.25 inches for fast handling like the 98 Mauser...14" is ridiculous for a .410 shotgun for youths...geniuses never cease to amaze me...

    Larry I believe you short changed us. You left out the most important part, which is refitting the rubber butt pad onto the stock.

    I have a Remington 760 made in September 1955. I want to shorten the stock because of my short arms, but I want to keep the original curved metal butt plate.
    How could you shorten the stock while keeping the curve on the end of it?

    My length of pull is fine , it's were my hand grips / holds stock and the tip of my trigger finger has to stretch to sit on / reach the trigger . should I shorten the front of the stock ?????

  • @live4hockey2
    @live4hockey2 7 лет назад +1

    Because the end of the stock is angled, is the recoil pad going to be too oversized for the new end once its cut to the length you want? I have an old 870 that I need to cut to fit me because I'm a shorter guy, so I need to take a good 2 inches off the end to make it work.

    A compound miter saw with a fine tooth finish blade makes this job 100 times faster. Hand tools have their place but I've cut down many a stock with my chop saw with more than favorable results. Great video non the less not knocking the guy in any way, just saying.

  • @wewlad8697
    @wewlad8697 7 лет назад +1

    He clearly doesn't use that saw (or any saw) very often.
    You should try to use all the teeth on a saw (ie. pull all the way back and push all the way forward) so as to not unevenly wear it out.
