I have a Uberti 1885 in 45-70 with nothing wrong with it. BUT it came from the factory with a crescent stock. While I understand that its “traditional and you should hold it further down your arm etc etc.” I would like a shotgun style straight cut butt plate. It is simply more practical for how I use the gun.
My options are:
Wedge something into the crescent and cover it with a sleeve. (Tried it, didn’t work well.)
Cut the stock. (I’m iffy of irreversibly altering the factory condition.)
Buy a second stock and cut it the way I want. I like this option, except stocks from Uberti are $300 plus. So I jumped on EBAY and the only stock available is cracked at the grip.
I would like opinions on the feasibility of repairing this stock for full time use. I don’t mind if the repair is visible I just want it to be tidy.
