My Browning superposed born in 1952 has a Silvers style pad on it and it came to me from the PO with a leather face that was not attached.It's a thin piece about the thickness of a unlined glove. I would like to re-attach it but not sure what to use for an adhesive to bond leather to rubber. Rubber cement?

its the favorite for attaching felt soles to wading shoes/waders

Thanks all. I just checked Am***n and the toluene free formula does not have good reviews. The glue sniffers have ruined it for us.

There are two kinds of Barge, the good stuff (red can) and the just OK stuff (blue can or tube). I have been using the blue stuff for minor shoe and boot repairs and it is OK. Will probably work for the leather face. It is also probably better than anything else out there, other than the original formula. You can still get the original formula from Film Tools in Burbank CA, but probably only in quarts. Seems it's used a lot by movie types for set construction. http://www.filmtools.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=barge+cement

You might want to try Shoe goo. It is made to adhere leather to rubber.
I got an extra three years from a pair of boots with this stuff.

I went through a couple tubes of Shoe Goo, and then switched to the blue tube Barge. The Barge is far superior, especially for rubber to rubber. I have also been using Barge to patch holes in the leather uppers on some of my boots, and it's holding up well, even on boots that get wet. Ugly patch, but effective.

Blue barge will hold that leather facing tight for a lot longer than you're going to have the gun. Just be sure the leather is on where you want it before it sets cause it ain't coming off.

I use Weldwood contact cement extensively. Can't say I've glued leather to rubber, but I have glued leather to wood (two absorbent materials) and wood to rubber (one absorbent/one non-absorbent). I make sanding blocks by gluing hard rubber gasket material to strips of hard maple, then cutting them with a chop saw. Not only do they survive the saw, some I've used for 20 years and never had one delaminate.
