Help with a Browning 10ga

[CelticRanger]

A friend of mine has a Browning 10ga pump with synthetic stock and a slip in recoil pad. His problem is that the LOP is too long even without the recoil pad. After a long day shooting, and having to shoulder his boom-stick wrong, he'll have bruise running from the top of his bicep down about six inches. I've looked around and I can't any short stocks for it. Any suggestions or links to a stock would be appreciated. Also the recoil pad is a must. (the 10ga is mule).

Midwestgunworks.com will have wood stocks for your BPS that you can cut to size. It might pay to shop the net as MGW is not always cheap

what kind of long days shooting a 10ga is he having? that is a goose gun and it is not goose season.

is he just out throwing lead?

fyi, a pump has no recoil reduction whatsoever and is just a shoulder buster to begin with. changing lop will not change that.

even if lop is too long it can still be mounted correctly unless he is trying to snap shoot. if he is, he needs more practice mounting his gun to put the stock in the right place. then again, it will just bruise a different part of his body

as was mentioned you he ca get an extra stock, cut it down and put a limbsaver on it. that will at least cut down on the bruising.

Some times we buy to much gun. We hate to admit it to oursleves but we do. Sound like he has and needs to think about a 12ga model that he put a Knoxx SpecOps or Knoxx Comp stock on to eat up the recoil. Heck, he can ever get the Remington Super Magnum and still use one of those type stocks and have near the effect of a 10ga on what he is shooting at.

Shooting is not fun if it is hurting the guy stock end of the gun.

Actually the fix is pretty simple. I've delt with a short LOP problem since I started shooting back in the middle 60's. All he needs to do is find a competant gunsmith that can measure his LOP and shorten the existing stock. He can even have a "grind to fit" Limsaver pad to put on it to help with recoil. I've had to adjust every full sized shotgun I've purchased, including a synthetic Benelli SBE(1996). No big deal really. Why make it tougher to find a stock when he can probably have it shortened.

Don't worry Terry the only thing we're killing is our shoulders. I wouldn't associate with poachers. And we're just trying to get the bruises where they're supposed to be.

Thanks, this is really what i was hoping to hear. Just not sure if the synthetic stock on the BPS will take well to being shortened

Would a mercury tube buffer help?
