I have two single shot Steven shotguns, 410 and 20. They were my first firearms as a kid - sentimental value.
Both stocks were cut down to fit me as a kid, and are several inches shorter than standard.
I can't find replacement stocks; what are my low cost options to add spacers or fab a new stock so I can get them shooting again?

A slip on recoil pad might do the trick

Here is a link to a commercial spacer system that might give you some ideas.

Stock Spacers

Since you have inches to make up, the Kick-ezz spacers would not be very economical.

You can do your own by using several layer of plexiglass or some other sheet plastic and a 1" thick recoil pad.

I was thinking about buying a new full length stock from a different model and modifying it to fit. Has anyone ever done something similar?

It would be a lot easier to just fab an extension.

Here's one I did at the last minute for a hunt, this is just a piece of plywood to extend a rifle that was set up for something else. Look close at the butt, someday I'll blend it in a little better.


I have short arms so most of my guns need to be shortened, I save all the cutoffs so they can be added back in, but you can make them from just some hardwood from the lumber yard. If you don't want to cross-grain it you can just laminate a stack.

Have you checked eBay or numrich? Hell you could buy another just for the wood make the swap and sell the other one to a kid who needs a shorter LOP

Both stocks are 12.25” LOP with 1” recoil pads (3” too short without pad).

I’m thinking a 2” hardwood extension and a slip on recoil pad may hide the mismatch.

Thanks for the ideas.

Numrich shows stocks for 9478s out of stock.

You would be surprised how well a filler piece can be made to match with a proper refinish
