I just purchased a gun from a friend that is in great shape, but the stock is a little short. It currently has about a .6 inch leather-covered pad. I think I will probably need to fit a new, thicker pad to the gun, but I'm not sure how to go about removing the old one. Is it possible to remove the pad without ruining the leather-covered one? I assume this is a standard screwed-in pad, then the leather is glued to the pad?? If so, would it be possible to minimize the dmage by locating the screws and just piercing the leather there?? Any insight that would help me do the least harm to this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
P.S. Yes, I am considering a velcro-on leather pad, but would like to know what all my options are.
