You might find someone to swap you their regular one for the large one, especially if it is a 'practical' size large one and not one of the mostly-decorative 'huge' ones.

What kind of gun is it? How big is the lever? I've got a few that I wouldn't mind having a slightly larger lever on. PM on the way

If I were you I would cut the stock off so the her thumb of her trigger hand is no more than 3" from her nose but no closer than 1". Generally, if the stock is longer the crook of the elbow will be extended beyond 90% and because the ladies and youths generally don't have the upper body strength that men do and the ladies also have those protrusion there on their chest that can get in the way, this all makes the gun will be too front heavy. When you see that new shooter leaning way back struggling to hold the gun up that is usually the reason why, the stock is just too long.

Here’s a good example. This young lady was 11 years old when this picture was taken. This first pic is her with one of the youth size Henry 22’s and as you can see she is still struggling to hold it up.



Here she is with a 12ga Baikal SXS that is cut to about 10”LOP with a mercury recoil reducer and good pad at about 5 degrees. Her stance isn’t that great but she is definitely in more control of the gun.



Notice the angle of the elbow. At that angle she can easily work a levergun.
