I did it , I cut one inch off my stock this afternoon and put on one inch slip-on limbsaver . Fired two shots and they felt good . Used a large radial arm saw with a new blade that made a very clean cut and then just touched the stock to the sander to smooth the very small nicks that ocurred when the blade went thru . I am happy with it , turned out real nice , lop is 14 5/8ths with the pad on . I will leave the slip-on pad for a while but eventually I think I will put a nice screw-on pad back on .
