shorten an 870 LOP

[fish_or_die]

just picked up an 870 20ga for the wife and it's a little long for her, and actually me too. I think the legnth of pull is 14" on it and the youth 20ga, which we both felt was too short, was 13". I'm thinking of trimming the stock 1/2" and seeing if that fits better but then I'll also have to customize the recoil pad to fit. Has anyone ever tried this before? any advice would be appreciated!
