miniross Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hi as the title suggest I'm having a prob with the butt of my gun as I mount it it seems to stick as I slide it up my jacket thus moving my jacket with it is there any inexpensive way of sorting this problem it think the base of the butt is too smooth and mess roughing up some how Any idea ?

hedd-wyn Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 A mate of mine has this problem with his beretta when wearing his micro fleece, he sorted this problem by wearing a different top whilst using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Is it too smooth or too rough? If it is sticking - too rough - I have used varnish over the rubber in the past. Lasts a few months at a time. I have also covered a rubber recoil pad in insulation tape to aid smooth mounting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Are you mounting the gun properly?If you mount with a 'see-saw' action instead of pushing the muzzle out towards the target,then you can often catch the heel in your clothing.Your gun needs to be coming into the shoulder more or less horizontal.I realise it sounds awkward,but isn't with practise;it just takes repetition so you do it automatically; even starting muzzles up as you would while waiting on a peg,you drop the muzzles down to just below the birds flightline and push with your grip hand simultaneously,then slide the gun horizontally back into the shoulder. You can practise with a very exaggerated push initially,which becomes shorter and faster with time,and ensures a snag free mount even with your winter woolies on.

miniross Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thanks very much for the advise will take it all on board will practice dry mounting the gun a lot more also someone said to me use maskin tape which is a little rougher than insulating tape would this work as well?

station Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 My Beretta used to do this till I had the LOP sorted - also improved mounting and score Around £90 with a Kick Eez pad or £60 with a cheaper pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 putting a bit of insulation tape on the butt is a really good cheap idea.....if you still have the problem, is your stock too long................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P~MX Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 sounds like your stock is definatly too long & with maybe the wrong pad too, firstly I'd take your pad off completely and shoot a few birds with it like that, this way you'll know if your stock is too long, if it is and it's comfortable without your pad have your shock trimed off the tickness of your pad or replace your old pad with an Isis pad -- they come in 11mm upwards in right and left hand, Isis pads are the best pads you could ever put on your gun, I have them on all 6 of my guns - even my new Perazzi has one now .
