Winters' Patent

Winters' Pneumatic Recoil Pad, June 1898 Sports Afield, with an endorsement from Fred Gilbert who was arguably the best of the best at that point

Gilbert at the 1904 GAH and his Parker looks to be wearing both a "recoil boot" and a Heikes Hand Guard

Don't forget the Grieb, from a circa 1915 H & D Folsom Arms Co. catalog --



In the 1937 Jostam catalog they were also marketing the B.F. Goodrich recoil pads --



In addition to their White-Line recoil pads, Mershon also had their Blue-Line pads --

A custom English pad from the late 1890's, a Rockard, Shulder-Buster.

They also did the grip checkering...



My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

The curved leather covered Jostam that James-l pictured is a beautiful pad that I have not seen before. I have one of those Jostam "No Kick Coming" that Drew pictured. It appears to be one piece rubber with no base. I have one unused that I would like to use but don't know how to mount it. It is also one good looking pad. I think we have all had old Grieb pads on guns and thought they were Silver pads.

I have one of those too, Bill, NIB. I'm thinking it would look much better mounted with a 1/8" - 3/16" black spacer. Haven't decided what to put mine on, yet.

They have metal in the sides. You wouldnt be able to grind much off before hitting metal.

Thanks, battle. That's good information.

I'm going to try to determine how far the metal extends by probing with a small needle in a pin vise/hand drill. If I can reach the metal in several places I can mark the base to reflect the edge of the metal.

Hoping Dave or Drew will know something about the Montgomery Wards pad.
