Only the part under the cupped butt plate was cut off on my rifle so the wood I added is not visible.
it appears mine is bubba altered like yours was sir , ill be looking into performing your idea on my stock, AFTER i clean up my stock, fix the big grip back to nearer the ww2 look, an give all metal parts a basic cleaning / oiling and look over, and find a proper mag,
