Eaglestroker Report post Posted December 27, 2011 Is there actually a pad in it, or just the leather itself? It seems the pad would just need to be wet molded and then sewn on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGGUNDOCTOR Report post Posted December 28, 2011 Looks like that was just a way to add a sling without adding swivels. If you put a pad in it, that will change the length of pull on the stock. That may be good,or it may not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Denster Report post Posted December 28, 2011 Most of the designs don't have a pad in them. They are used generally to provide a little friction and keep the butt from slipping when working the action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That may be good,or it may not. Yes and yes, good observation. The fellow wants a pad added to the rifle but I don't think I could/should do it through a leather mount. Most of the designs don't have a pad in them. They are used generally to provide a little friction and keep the butt from slipping when working the action. The leather makes sense especially in this case where the weight of the gun is on that piece. Think I'll tell this fellow I can't make what he's looking for. Seems more hassle than it's worth!
