I recently put a recoil pad on a Lefever which had that same type of red spacer nailed onto it. Just like yours. Odd. I pulled all the nails and ditched the spacer for a new pad.
Anyway... By all means, the best solution to your issue is to put on a 1.5" silvers pad from galazan. It will look right on the gun and it will get you out to be lop that you need.
Adding a wood extension can be done, but it woul have to be worked over by someone like Larson to look right. And restocking is a lot of money for an easily fixable problem. Believe me, I know all about that... But it all depends on what you are looking for.
Very nice gun though! I think a silvers pad would be perfect on it.
