The door prize goes to Armor-all. Taped up the stock, sanded the rubber a bit (it was already smooth and and the sanding did not reduce the tackiness), and then rubbed in several applications of Armor-all. Big difference - not quite as slick as leather or horn but slick enough. I will be curious to see how often the rubber needs to be treated to keep it that way.
Mike - interesting and valid point about the leading hand. Moving the leading hand forward and keeping the back hand quiet is key to a good mount, but I was over-extending my left hand so much to avoid snagging the butt that I had to move the butt back into my shoulder.
