I am a tall guy and need a stock as long as possible .Who makes a lever gun in 45 colt that has the longest stock. I have looked all over the web and nobody list LOP in description and seems Rossi and Henry are all short Rossi I looked at was only about 12 inch THX in advance

slip on recoil pad....that will add about an inch of length..... and its not sissy to have one on rifle. you can get away with too short...too long is a real issue and will see you shooting low and creeping on stock.

Shape up a piece of wood and screw it to the end of the buttstock, then fit a slip on recoil pad to cover it up.
I have the same situation with my Winchester M71, as they all seem to have stocks that are short.

Yep, add wood to get to desired length with the slip on pad. If the slip on doesn't cover the joint between the stock and add on, then get a leather slip on made with a longer "sleeve" that covers the joint.

No, I do not think so. Standard off the shelf rifles are all around 13.5'' LOP to accommodate the average person.

.

FWIW, a buttstock designated as for a Winchester Model 1894 will fit any Model 92 (they are generally interchangeable), and will usually give you the desired LOP.

Just don't use a carbine buttstock that has the buttplate that wraps over the top of the comb (they're usually shorter)
