How do you measure for length of pull? I just ordered a new stock from HS and it got here today. Is there a way to add to the stock if needed? I didn't order it from the factory because I needed it with the quickness.
 
Re: Length of pull

Middle of trigger to middle of stock butt. I believe. This is the way to measure the stock.

Bend elbow 90*-measure from first joint of trigger finger to inside elbow at bottom of upper arm. Without the proper stock fit guage, this will get you VERY close without a true fitting.
