Never say never Dave, Scott has a Trojan 12ga with factory 26" tubes (which I believe is pretty rare) and it is fitted with what appears to be an orginal Hawkins Pad from the factory. (I think he may sell it as he makes room for that beautiful BHE he recently bought).

Mike the hard rubber butt plate is going to add about 1/4 inch to your LOP. If you are 13 3/4 to 13 7/8" from trigger to wood I doubt the gun was cut.
