Lengthening a stock with Spur

[Trey Miller]

Is there a way to lengthen a Parker with a spur/birds beak butt plate? I don’t want to use an external wrapped pad unless I have to. Is there a spacer that someone makes that can fit into the pointed section of the stock that a recoil pad could fit into? I would never cut a stock to add length. Has someone done this?

Thanks,
Trey

Yes. A spur can be attached to a pad.

A Silvers or a silvers style pad with a spur can be installed and looks period correct for most shotguns. That will give you about 1” also I have a pad that is 1 1/2” thick. I never used it as I did not need the length and the pad just looks too long in my opinion.

Thanks for all the responses. I knew there had to be a way to do it.

Fill the void with black dyed bedding compound. Yes, hundreds have been done this way. No, there is not a correct spacer. I have not seen an acceptable leather covered pad with a "peak".

Besides, a leather covered pad is never a proper treatment on a Parker.

Here's one that had a skeleton steel butt plate and now has a leather covered pad. It might not be acceptable to some but it's way better than cutting the stock.
