Acerforestry Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 So I have bought an old 56E from a forum member, with a view to a light restoration. The butt oval does the job but I have seen an image of a later 56 on a shooting website that has more of a recoil pad though that does have a flat stock end. Does anyone know if rubber Beretta pads are available to fit this profile? Also, have any members had much success with cold rebluing at home, I may give that a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 (edited) I flattened the end and fitted a Silvers. Edited January 8 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acerforestry Posted January 8 Author Report Share Posted January 8 That worked well, looks great. I will bear that option in mind, having had a scroll about is does seem curved stocks are limited to mainly plastic ovals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acerforestry Posted January 8 Author Report Share Posted January 8 (edited) Have just checked Kynoch ammo site, unfortunately the no.3 Silvers pad won't fit my stock, its too small. Pity, they suit the gun Edited January 8 by Acerforestry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have fitted hundreds to guns and have yet to come across a stock "too big" for the pad. It will easily cover the S56. BTW Silvers pads are no longer available. Can't believe it. I hope they find someone else to make them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acerforestry Posted January 12 Author Report Share Posted January 12 Tightchoke Dave has offered his assistance on this and has a spare, suitable pad or two. Will get sorted and post a pic when done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
