I have a Savage 10FCP-K and bought an HS Precision tactical stock for it. My problem is the standard LOP on the stock is 13 1/2 inches. I'm 6'4" and measured my LOP to be between 14 1/2 and 15 inches. I searched and searched and couldn't find an economical (read "cheap") fix to extend the length of pull.
So I figured what the heck... I'll make one. So to my dad's wood shop I went. Figuring on just a temporary or pattern out of pine I cut a piece of wood to fit the buttstock. I planned on using the original buttpad that came on the rifle and could just shape the wood to fit both ends.
I also couldn't find very many sources online about doing this or what was under the glued on factory HSP pad. So I did it myself.
This is what I found:

I used an x-acto knife to slowly and carefully cut the glue. I didn't freeze the stock which I saw recommended. I cleaned up the excess glue with a dremel tool and JB Welded the wood block onto the butt of the stock.
I routed out where the aluminum block sticks out on the back and where the old pad fits into the wood block. (sorry, no pics of that). Put a layer of wood glue on it to seal it, Painted the whole thing flat black and screwed on the old pad. I now have a length of pull of 14 1/2 inches.
