Dude, you've already got a great gun... equipped the way you want and trained with for years, right? Just unfuck the stock if you're hankering to pretty-ify your sweet Super 90. Hell, I've butchered the furniture on a few of my guns (my adventures with an M1 carbine are real funny if you've had a few beers) and I usually give in and just purchase the new stock I need after realizing that while the fugly one works, it doesn't turn me on anymore.

Point: I think you should just buy a new pistol grip stock and have someone professionally shorten it. Functional, familiar, AND pretty.

As an aside, I feel the length of pull on a lot of fixed stock guns is outta control, designed for people who shoot all sideways national match like a NRA photo from the 1950s. Modern "go-go-go" shooters that square up don't need 14". While the AK47 philosophy (way short fits everybody!) is a little too much for American-sized individuals, I don't think we need more than 12-13" from the trigger to the buttplate on pistol grip'd repeating firearms.

...

Hahaha, "I'm not buying a damn Saiga."

...

The other option is that you could sell the Benelli to me. I've wanted one for a long time. I'm still rocking a stock Mossberg 590 or Remington 870.
