Welcome to the forums from N.H. !

Easiest way to lengthen pull without modifying the original gun and killing it's resale value is to use a slip on butt pad. There are numerous options with many different makers, from rubber/neoprene type to tie on custom leather.

 

Hi!
Greetings from France.
Another option is to shorten your arm but it'll definitely kill your own value !

 

Thanks! I will consider that as a "last" option if nothing else works! LOL

 

Welcome, M1Riflenut hit it on the head, a slip on butt pad would be my first choice. If that doesn’t work out you can try the gunsmith option. We are at the opposite end of the spectrum, I’m looking for shorter LOP, but I am 13” shorter than you and shrinking. Good luck.

 

These will add 1 1/2" to the LOP and soften recoil a bunch

Nitro Grind-to-fit Recoil Pad

Reducing felt recoil by up to 70 percent for most rifles, shotguns and muzzleloaders.

Thanks!

 

Get a replacement stock and modify it to fit you. If you were to go this route when removing the original DO NOT wiggle it L to R for fear of damaging the tabs that fit into the receiver. Wiggle slightly up and down while pulling rearward.

 

Welcome to Marlin Owners.

Here I thought my LOP at 14.25" was long. Just remember recoil is measured as perceived so keep that in mind with claimed recoil reduction.

That said, I run a Limbsaver slip on pad on my Marlin Express rifles and I get close to my LOP of 14.25". It works very well. Might consider one.

Thanks Jack. I like the idea of the slip since I have shorter family members who will want to use it so this would be a great option to slip off and on.

 

10acres, I cut my LOP down to 12.5" LOP. A lot better to shoot now.

OP,
I would agree with OLD wound. I would buy another rear stock and I would do some wood working and add to the LOP. But the butt pads would do all that and a lot less exspensive and lot less time and hassle.

 

Slip on will work. Is that model one of the short barrel models? If so you may be disappointed with the handling at your size. A 22" barrel will likely handle better for you.

 

Lawdy,at 6'9" they gonna have to strap that action to a 2x4 for you.You a biggun lol.

 

LOL! Thanks Steelywood!

 

My two hunting partners, father and son, were as tall as you and they had the 'smith put on spacers and recoil pads on all their guns. The father especially liked the thick recoil pad and wouldn't admit to being recoil sensitive. "Would you sight in my .338 again this year?" he'd ask. Ouch.

He also had a flinch sometimes.

The Limbsaver might work if one inch more is long enough. A thicker screw-on butt plate inside might give even more length without a permanent stock modification.

My long-armed grand son-in-law might find these comments useful, too.

The slip on recoil pads, especially the LimbSaver, work very well.

Just remember that "slip on" is vernacular. A fairly thick band of elastic rubber needs to be stretched over the butt to put it on. It is doable and worthwhile, but it's more than just the work of a moment. Last one I "slipped on" was more like a challenge. I got it eventually.

I say this since if you have others waiting to shoot that rifle, they need to be patient. Or else let them do it.

 

Welcome from WNC!.... yer momma sho musta fed you right lol.....

 

Welcome from Pennsylvania!!

 

1” Small Limbsaver slip on works exceptionally well for extending and kills the recoil.
Walmart has them for $20

 

I would go with a lace on butt pad that has cartridge loops maybe. I do not have a link off hand but there are a number of leather workers on the wuh.wuh.wuh if you google that can make very nice items.

I would not modify the rifle aside from either a lace on cartridge holder with pad or a custom extension. At least not until you decide you are married to the rifle forever.

 

Welcome from South Florida!

 

Slip on pads look terrible IMO. Have your smith install a pad of an appropriate thickness. Presumably, you will like and keep the rifle for a loooong time, so do it right the first time.

Keep the original butt plate/pad so that you can reinstall it if you ever decide to sell.

Just my 2 cents.

 

I have Limbsavers on all my rifles and they work very well. They are not slip ons however. Good luck and welcome from the state of Washington.

 

Butt pad, they come in various thicknesses. I am normal build so don't need extra length, but did change pads on: 1895, 1895gg, and a couple of 1894c's. The 1994c was for my sister -- definately not needed for recoil but needed for shortening lop. Adjusted my 1894c so she would shoot it when she comes to my area. She does quite well with it and hers, when she brings it. Your rifle needs to fit you.
