I recently acquired a Cogswell and Harrison 12 bore. I got it at a really reasonable price largely because it had a 3/4”acrylic extension that had some chips and no butt pad. It is cast for a lefty which I am. I shoot it well when I remember it has more than one trigger. It looks great other than the extension.

It fits me well at the current LOP so I am leaning toward an NECG brown 3/4” quick mount pad to replace the extension. Would this be appropriate for an English double? Your thoughts.

The NECG pads are really nice and look great too. I believe they are sourced from Germany. I’m not a fan of brown colored pads.
I think your Coggie would look great with either the red or black pad. I like the color of the NECG red pad…..I have them on some Brit guns and a few vintage winchesters & Remington’s. NECG has had some issues as of late with getting the red colored pads in stock. I waited 6 mos for the last one I bought.

Original Silver or Griffin and Howe Silver repro (no longer easily available) ground down to your length and finished as you wish. No other proper choice.

Any pad, which does not have a white lie in it, is a start in the right direction. Those I hate on anything. I have been buying a small supply of vintage period pads at gun shows and on line. There are some out there but not many. Buy what you like. It is your gun and anything has to be a step up from a plastic extension.

Dustin, do you have any experience with the NECG quick change pad mount? Specifically, does the channel mount have to be inlet into the butt? I'd like to see some pics of guns with a pad mounted on this "kit".


May God bless America and those who defend her.

I see that Francis Lombardi is offering original Silver pads on gunsinternational. The right pad for you.

Thanks gentlemen. I had thought the Silvers were not available anymore. Good to know they can be had.

Yes. A friends Citori has that system installed. Dennis Earl Smith fitted it up. It’s a pretty neat system, really positive locking for all the pads fitted. The locking system is two pegs/studs that the pads bases slide into….very positive, no movement at all and very easy to change pads. My friend requires an extremely long length of pull and has pads fitted for both summer and winter shooting.


And to the guys recommending silvers pads….while I’m all about traditional etc, bottom line is silvers pads suck. They’re hard and do absolutely nothing for recoil management (if that’s what you have a pad for, some people just install a pad for a longer lop….in that case, it doesn’t really matter).
And which silvers pad is more traditional? Orange? Brick red? Nub or no nub? How polished should it be? All Silvers pad installations aren’t the same….I’ve seen some really poorly shaped, polished silvers that did not look right. And a silvers pad will cost more to install over other types of pads. All of this should be considered.
Some of the finest guns out there are fitted with pachmayr old English and NECG pads. Nothing “un-proper” about it.

a rubber pad will add weight and change the balance of the gun...as you do not like the plastic, replace it with scabbed on wood?...


keep it simple and keep it safe...
