I recently purchased a Browning BAR LW stalker in .308. I love the gun and will have it to the day I die but the 13.75" LOP seems just a hair long once I get all loaded up with the hunting clothes required for northern MN. I'm a short stump to begin with. The recoil pad on it is already pretty thin and I cant find anything significantly shorter. Ideally I'd like to take 5/16 to 3/8 off the length of pull.
Has anyone ever had a synthetic stock cut? If so how did it turn out? I called Browning and they said that there is enough material in the back of the stock to cut off about 1/2" but if you take any more then that off there will be nothing to screw the pad onto. I'd like to have this done but I'm a little nervous about it. I also know these BAR's can be a little finnicky and the one I have now shoots 1 1/2 or better with anything I put through it so I dont want someone who doesn't know what they are doing messing with it. If this can be done can someone please recomend a good gunsmith in MN?
Thanks in advance for the responses.
