High school daughter shoots air rifle competitively (parents are still learning, so bear with us) with p70 FWB. She is noticing the length of pull feels a little short.... Can we get longer screws to push the buttplate out farther or put he a new buttplate? If so, where would we purchase the screws or what buttplate do you recommend. She hopes to shoot for college someday....
Thank you!
Need to add length to stock for fwbp70 junior

@ Eaglecrossing,
I am going to guess this is a wood stocked rifle. Have you already slid the butt out as far as it will go? If you purchace a MEC Contact III or a slightly less expensive version has the Gehmann name on it but it also is marked Contact III. This alone will add approximately 1" to the length. Longer screws can be found at a decent hardware store that sells metric socket head cap screws. PM me if I can help more.

Thanks...
Thanks for the input! Someone else also mentioned adding weight to the rifle to keep it from slipping out of the shoulder. She did and that has helped and we also ordered a mec buttplate to help it sit better in the shoulder.
Again thanks for the input... we need all the help we can get!
