The correct answer......

......is to put a slip-on recoil pad. But if this rifle is dedicated to the 11-year-old, you could cut the stock shorter and mount a more permanent recoil pad. Instead of throwing away the metal butt-plate, you could send it to me as I am looking for a replacement butt-plate for my 1942 vintage Winchester 94 that I am in the process of reversing just such a procedure. If I were you, I'd go with the first option and keep the rifle original. I have lengthened the stock on mine and am using a slip on pad with good results. The L.O.P. is substantially longer than original which makes it pleasant for me to shoot. But I'm 6 feet tall and definitely not 11 years old. If you do get rid of the butt-plate, I'd be happy to give you 15 or 20 bucks for it if it's in half-decent condition.
