The gun will be adjustable as far as the shims permit, but no more.

Plastic stocks cannot be bent like wood stocks can be. The overwhelming majority of plastic shotgun stocks are hollow polyethylene and so cannot be fitted with aftermarket adjustable combs unless you go to a TON of trouble.

The only synthetic shotgun stock that I am aware incorporates an adjustable comb and/or buttpad are those made by Jack West. They are not hollow. They are a solid, very high density plastic that looks and feels like Delrin. And they are not cheap.

 

I have adjusted several of these to fit the shooter, however as Sobrepuesta has stated going beyond the limit of the shims will be tough. Contact Tronspace .com he can alter the LOP on plastic stocks using automotive adhesives and the work I have personally seen is quite good. As a side note, most of the time correcting the gun mount of the shooter does the trick unless he/she has some very unusual
facial or body dimensions.

 

Yes!very difficult to adjust hollow plastic stocks, and is it worth it, get a free estimate for the job as it may be costly?.

 

Have him use what he has first and see how that goes - no fitter needed for thar

 

Sometimes it's better, and cheaper to sell the gun and find one that fits off the shelf.
It doesn't cost anything to visit cabela's or similar and try some out.

 

Most can't, they are hollow and very thin. A few can, they have more thickness. But they can't be bent.

It's easy to tell the thin ones - just take the butt plate off and look!

 

Yes. Unless he needs an almost abnormal amount of cast the shims and different thickness recoil pads will do the trick. Get out the owner's manual and figure out which shim gives you the most drop and cast-on for LH shooters. Get the thickest pre-fit recoil pad you can find, I use a Limbsaver. This might do the trick, although he might need more length of pull, in which case just grind a spacer to fit or have someone do it for you. An easy was to figure out LOP is to get a slip-on recoil pad and put pieces of cardboard inside until you get the right LOP.

 

What I believe exists (with the inadequate information available) is a need for a pad adjuster so the whole recoil pad can be lowered. This would reduce or eliminate the forward neck lean your friend needs currently to put his cheek on the comb.

The neck lean is what requires additional stock length (to keep his nose far enough behind his thumb to keep the two separated during recoil).

So far, I see no need for cast or a longer stock. My guess is that the neck lean, when eliminated with a pad adjuster to allow a more natural and upright head and neck posture, will require no additional stock length.

One of the common needs for cast is when the shooter faces targets too squarely with little or no stance rotation.
