can you recommend a recoil pad no more than 1/2" thick ?


London Guns in Santa Barbara had a nice red pad that was about .5-.6" thick and looks right on vintage guns, but last time I checked they were out of production. There seems to be a steady demand, so would be worth checking again.

Jeff's Outfitters carries a 1/2" brown pad that looks nice on just about anything. I had one fitted to an 1885 Parker hammer gun to lengthen the LOP and it's very nice. It is a firm pad.
