If you decide to cut a wood stock, first drill two 1/2" holes lengthwise from the butt, then cut with a very fine toothed saw. Add a strap-on pad to protect the cut butt. Save the "scrap" piece where you won't lose it. When you want a longer stock, put glue on a pair of 1/2" dowels and reassemble to stock with a mallet. Refinish the stock, and you'll never be able to find the cut.
If you manage to lose the piece, just add spacers under the pad every year until the shooter stops growing.
I hear you about having three of everything to buy, Berettaman. It's like these single people telling me flying is cheaper than driving - until I remind them I have to buy four tickets.
