i guess my great great grandfather took a adult size .410 sawed off a few inches of the stock and reattached the recoil pad. it looks great i thought thats how they bought it. its old but it still works today i use it for pheasent as did my dad, his dad, and his dads dad. hopefully ill be able to pass it on some day but thats besides the point i was just curious to see if anyone else has done so and with what/how
Cut stocks down on 22 rifles, 410 and 20 gauge. Also installed recoil pad to make it more comfortable to shoot.
I've altered many shotguns and rifles for youth shooters as well as for smaller men and women. Cutting the stock is the #1 alteration. Brownell's makes a handy jig for measuring length of pull. I've cut the stocks with a good quality miter saw and a band saw. Make sure that the stock is shimmed level in the saw. Wrap tape around the cut area to make sure that the wood doesn't chip.A smart move is to keep the piece of stock that you cut off so that it can be re-attached at a later date.
We did up an 870(before "youth's" came out).
Taped and cut the butt-stock down to fit my nephew, with attached re-coil pad.
He stoped hunting for awhile. Made an AWSOME deer/bird gun.
I have heard of it but never done it..I wonder if remington makes smaller stocks that fit on normal models...just a thought

The Remington youth stocks will fit on the regular guns or at least they used to. I've been out of the business for awhile.
When I was young, my dad just took it to a gun shop and they made some measurements and cut the regular gun down to size... idk what but it made one hell of a shotgun. My father still has it in his safe. It's something I plan on giving my son one day.
