nppulse Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 im after a new recoil pad for me shotty, and i've measured the length at the end of the stock at its 5 1/4'', but most of the pads of seen on t'net are for 5 3/4 or 5 1/2''. will these do if they are cut and grinded to shape??? or does anyone know where to get some to fit? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Have you asked for a Gunsmith to give you a price inc fitting? A lot of Recoil pads start around the £10 mark and it may be worth while letting someone else fit it as it's less stress LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisv Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 The whole "grind to fit " thing sounds a lot scarier than it really is. I bought a Kickeez and decided to have a go at fitting it myself. I was rushing to remove the excess pad with all manner of implements. Thankfully Fister came round to see what a balls-up I was making of it and he suggested a different approach. You need to use the right grade sandpaper (fairly rough but not too rough). I think we used 60 grit on one of those rubber sanding blocks. The pad comes down to the profile of the stock quite quickly. Don't forget to protect the stock with masking tape at the join, I scratched mine a bit 'cos I rushed it too much. If you take more time you can do a really good job. The attached (I hope!) pic shows the rough finished pad, you can smooth them off with finer paper when you're happy with the profile.

30-6 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 If your gun is a Beretta they sell (or used to) the right shape/ size just different thickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
