Shortening a plastic stock
I have a Sako 75 finnlite with the stainless fluted barre and the original plastic stock, it has a 14” length of pull. All my other rifles have between 13 1/4 and 13 1/2. I need to either get it cut down or find an after market stock. Can it be cut down?

odds are the stock is hollow inside which limits what amount of material can be removed, so, you would be much better off just buying a stock made correctly from the get go that is the size you want!
there are tons of stock makers out there today,
