why is the buttstock so big?

The Buttstock is where you store the battery. You don't really aim with the thing anyway if you do buy it you'll see my point. Overall the thing kick ass on the Feild

RyanI bought it for my 13 year old and he seems to handle it well - even with the large stock. Although he usually shots it from the hip because it is a heavy gun. I'm not sure if its an accurate stock size for and actual Thompson.

The buttstock is the same size as found on the actual Tommy gun. That is, it's life-sized.

It's made to look exactly like the john Dillinger Thompson smg. The stock on the Thompson was so big due to the fact that it shot was a .45 caliber and shot 920 fps (280mph). With all off the recoil happening the weapon requires a heavy and thick but to absorb the blow and not injure the shooter's shoulder.

no way my ar15 with the butt stock at its smallest setting barely fits right

Go into the Pachmayr website and you will be able to get all the dimensions. Find the closest size to the stock and if it isn't the same size, go for the next size up and have it ground to fit your stock. These recoil pads are not made, stock or brand specific. Hope this helps.

Beside the reputation of the manufacturer, the deciding factor to purchase this particular Hogue stock was the length of pull that would accommodate all the members of this household in a HD situation. IMHO, for hunting or clays you should select a LOP that fits you personally.

Sorry, but for some reason I just recieved your question...but yes it just slips up over the butt of the stock. Works great and very simple to use.

Yes. That's why I bought it. With my S&W 637 the recoil from +P ammo was VERY uncomfortable. Not now. I love these. http://thecartridgebox.com/2013/06/08/i-like-big-butts/

The J Frame round butt has a small flat spot on the bottom of the grip. The square butt has a much larger flat area at the bottom of the grip.

There is no adjustment at the rear for the buttstock but there is a great deal of adjustment in front where the forearm rests. The height of the recoil pad depends on how far forward the rifle is placed in the rest.

Hello Lovetoshop This product will only add approx. 1/2" to 3/4" to the end of the butt stock. Hope this helps!

Great quality stock but if your on the taller end it's a little to short for comfort especially shooting higher recoil ammo (00 buck or slugs). Just to give you an idea I'm 6ft tall and muscular build.

no, you can slip the buttstock ammo holder over the end of the stock. it is elastic and will stretch to go over end of butt plate. note that because of this, it is not a real tight fit; periodically, you will have to move it toward end of stock to be snug.

It does not look to be a good fit, Rogers stock has a curved butt plate and mounts with screws, the LimbSaver is straight and is held on by sliding over the straight butt plat on the M4 adjustable stock.

no. my wife's size was. it made it much more comfortable for her. she's about your height. i am 6'1" and i like it much more than the 16+" original stock. i actually tried many that would suite her and me. this is by far the best one yet. hogue has yet to let me down.

I have no idea why anyone would want to go smaller. Beyond the size (which is great) you get the bonus of the rear projection option which, after using twice, is AWESOME! Go big, you won't regret it

Don't know, but, I do know that the Limbsaver website lists recoil pad model numbers to buttstock sizes as well as printable diagrams to match your particular buttstock.

It is also very large and takes up a lot of space. (I added this because one response said that it doesn't take up a lot of space)

I think the buttstock will work but not the forend, so you might want to just get the buttstock kit. Mine has helped me enormously, it's probably the best upgrade there is for these. Hope that helps.Check this link out for more info:http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-469394.html
