I have a 870 that is in very good condition and I acquired it to be my all-use workhorse gun...

Here is the problem... The gun doesn't fit me.

LOP on the gun is 13.75" which is shorter than everything else I own and also the forend just seems too bulky compared to the SXS's and Auto's I own. Is there a decent aftermarket stock for the gun that has a little bit more length of pull with a narrower forend? I'm not looking to spend a ton but would like this gun to be my normal utility gun.

Also if thats not possible I would like to convert it down to a youth model and make the gun smaller for the girl to use as her all purpose gun so that leads me to ask who might make a youth stock aftermarket that is decent/light?

The gun is a 870 Express 12ga with 28" barrel. (I know going the youth route would mean a shorter barrel)
