Yea, I shortened a zytel 77/22. I cut it 3/4" forward of the pad to preserve the curved transition and beefiness at the rear of the skeleton frame, then cut 3/4" more off the stock, then remounted the rear end back on. I used longer pad screws to hold everything back together for about 13-1/4" LOP. I tried epoxy as a glue, but it didn't hold, finally got gorilla glue to hold, then popped it off by wedging too big of a wood insert against it, at which point I just put in longer screws and walked away...you might get the idea that this was a real bubba effort...and you'd be right! Grinding the zytel back into shape and trying to polish it again was no fun, never got the surface back to the semi-gloss original, so I ruffed up the whole stock to match...no more plastic stock mods for me! I like wood, and understand it better than plastic!
