Hunt with it this fall as it is and take it to the Skeet range or SC course and practice with it.
If you need more length you can use a slip-on pad with spacers in it if necessary.
Just out of curiosity and not intending to be insulting or flippant.... why did you buy a gun you knew you wouldn't be happy with?.

Chokes are M and F. I like the idea of seeing what spreaders look like on paper. Thanks.
I also like the idea of hunting it with it with temporary solutions to accommodate a 13 3/4" LOP.
As far as buying a gun that I knew I wouldn't be happy with, I would have been more than willing to pay more for a gun that suited me better, but I found nothing that fit the bill.
This gun looks to be relatively unmolested, and it wouldn't take that much to make it suit me perfectly, just a little time and money.
A cheap way out would be to bend the stock a bit, install a proper pad, and call it good, which might be exactly what I do for now.
But if the gun is nice and tidy, wouldn't a restoration be worth it? And I don't mean in terms of dollars and cents.
