The quick answer is yes you can, but that is only a small part of the answer. The hard part is fitting the pad to the stock once you cut it. The pad IS the structural part in the rear of the factory stock. Pull the stock pad off, look at how it fits into the stock and how it supports the thin stock body.
When you cut the stock the opening for the pad to recess into will get smaller in every dimension. It needs to closely fit the stock to provide the support the stock walls need. No more than an eighth of an inch of clearance anywhere, and less than a sixteenth would be better.
The pad screws are also going to need relocating toward the center of the pad or shortened. Make a pencil mark along the stock where the screws are now, make that mark 2" long or until it moves off the stock. Now make a mark where you would like to cut the stock. This makes it pretty obvious where the problem comes in.
Basically it is a LOT of work if you do it yourself.
1 1/4" is a TON of length to take off the stock. Is there a special circumstance that dictates that much needs to be taken off?
