Replacing Shotgun Recoil Pad
I need to replace a recoil pad on a 50 year old double barrel made in Spain. It will have to be custom fitted. Can someone point me in the right direction to find the parts I need. I've looked thru Midway USA's paper catalog with no luck.

Re: Replacing Shotgun Recoil Pad
Fitting a recoil pad is a straight-forward process. Simply buy a grind-to-fit pad by Pachmayr, Limbsaver or whichever type pad you want. Compare the dimensions of the stock butt to the pad and get a pad larger than the stock so you can carry the contour of the stock toe through the pad.

Re: Replacing Shotgun Recoil Pad
Here is an great tool that works well to get whatever pad you'll be going with, close
to the original shape of the butt-end and then you can hand sand (the pad) for a custom fit. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/658...lation-fixture

Re: Replacing Shotgun Recoil Pad
Before you start sanding down, make sure you wrap the wood with a layer or two of masking tape so you don't mar it.

Re: Replacing Shotgun Recoil Pad
