TBH,you would be better off leaving the stock alone and learning to use it LH.Unless it has a serious right hand cast you can manage with abit of practise.Unless the gun is worth alot ,getting a custom stock might run you more than the guns value in Ireland.

I shoot several right handed guns left handed. You get used to it very quickly. Bolt actions are the only pain.
