Craig, figuring the length of skeleton buttplate screws and adding that measurement to the remaining wood of the stock and assuming the original stock with a skeleton would be 14" would give you the answer. However, I never go that far in calculating the originality of a very original looking gun. I have a very late high condition VHE 20 with a pad. I would like to examine the butt for signs of original buttplate screws, but I have decided to leave well enough alone and assume it is an original pad.
