the_commoner Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 i have a shotgun that needs about a inch adding to the stock, how easy is it to fit a butt pad ? Forget the gunfit topic, i have taken all the necessary dimensions and adding a inch to the stock should do fine...........its the profile of the new one that bothers me most and how you get it to match the stock shape perfectly ? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noluv6 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 try www.midway.co.uk they have many many gun smith stuff and load's of different butt pad's. If that is not the correct link please forgive me and google midway gun part's or some thing of that nature and they should appear. Very interesting site.

Fuji Shooter Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I fitted one to a shortened stock on a Remi 1100 yesterday - if you grind it down on a wheel make sure you have the extractor on otherwise you end up filthy . Best example I have seen is here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoot57 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 i took a saw to my english sidelock a while ago to shorten it a bit.........wish i hadn't i was going to take a piece off and then replace the ebonite pad but nothing seemed to fit, so went strait to my local gunsmith who sorted it for me, he made a beautiful job explaining the stock after fitting a pad has to be re-polished so ill not try again....oh and he charged me about £70 or £80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayman Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) Remove the existing pad and cut the stock straight if it is not already, and /or shorten it to the desired length less the pad thickness. Take the end of the stock and profile it onto paper. Use spray photo-mount or similar adhesive to put the paper onto the back of the new pad and grind it away with a sander until you are about 1mm short of the profile - remembering that the toe will have an angle on it. Fix the pad to the gun and mask off the wood up to the pad. Using a belt sander or linisher carefully profile down the last mm until just hitting the masking. Remove the pad and masking, and using the linisher or even a hand pad, take of the last few thou. for the perfect shape. Allow two hours for the job.
