Cutting Down Micro Stock??

Post by Shoebuck »

Has anyone tried to take an inch out of the Micro But Stock? My wife has started to hunt with me and the regular length of pull is a little long. Mild weather she is ok but when she puts on heavy clothes she has trouble.
I have been looking at the stock and I think that it would be possible to take an inch out of the straight section at the rear of the butt stock. I think that I can glue it back together and maybe drill and pin after initial gluing.
Has anyone bought a replacement stock for the micro, and if so how much are they? Thanks, Dave

My son Colton is very small and I cut down an older stock to put on his Micro. I cut the amount out that I wanted to shorten it then glued it back together with Accraglass. Then I mixed Accraglass with micro balloons to make a paste consistency and swept a radius on the joint. Next I masked off about 3/8" and sprayed Rustoleum Truck bed spray on it. It turned out great! I liked it so well that I shortened my Matrix a little bit to fit me betterImageImageImage
It almost makes it look like a recoil pad if you do it right. I have had ZERO problems with it. It is stuck GOOD! And it lets a little kid have much better form than trying to shoot a full size stock.

I saw this stock at Boofest a couple years ago and it looks amazing. You'd swear it was a factory upgrade.

.....I think the reason Paul and Colton didn't go to boofest in 2016 was everybody was trying to abscond with Colton's bow (present company included :shock: :lol: )....it not only looked great but shouldered equally as well....Paul you should market this upgrade to wanting forum members! :wink:

It is just an easy job. I think most all forum members can do it themselves. The material that the stocks are made of works easily and glues well. Then it just a matter of covering your tracks with the truck bed spray.( easy peasy as your bud would say) Don't be afraid of this job.
