funky Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Yes i have and to be honest i would get a gunsmith to fit it specially if you need to reduce it's size to get a flush fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunk Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hi guys need some help i have a recoil pad to fit has anybody done one before I`ve fitted a few including the grind to fit Bisley adjustables. They rarely fit exactly and normally require some material to be removed. I`ve found the best way is to try and remove most of the excess while its not attached and keep offering it up. When its a close enough fit mask off the stock at the join and use a dremel or similar to fine fit. I normally expect to have to sort out the stock finish in some way at the join but if you`ve taken your time and not been ham fisted this should be minimal. Files of varying abrasiveness, Dremels, and emery cloths are better, but slower, than trying to cut lumps out with a knife. Oil finish stocks are easier to sort out afterwards than varnish.

bob300w Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Unless you can find one that fits (unlikely), be prepared to re-finish your stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsmyth Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Since most are made of aluminum it is by no means a difficult job providing you own a sharp file, a bench vice and are prepared to expend some 'elbow grease'. Fix to stock, mark profile, then remove from stock and file to mark. Repeat until you have a good fit. Have fun !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Elvis Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 You could always buy a slip over one, i got one for my aya the other day, fits like a glove and can be removed if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
