I have a 243 for my daughter but the plastic stock is too long. I tried finding a youth stock but haven't had any luck finding one for a removable magazine. My next thought was to cut it but I can foresee a few problems and haven't been able to find any answers searching here. First, if I cut 1 1/2" off the stock it will be close to the lugs that the recoil pad screws to so I would have to trim those back also and am not sure the best way to go about it. Second, the recoil pad is probably going to be to large, is there a way to trim it down? Thanks guys.
