Thread: Hi-Tec recoil pad replacing

Good on you Tahr.

I used Jandal material on my 303 for a while. Just held it in with the two big screws that used to hold the brass butt plate. A kindly older hunter gave me a new thick butt pad and that lasted a few decades till it went soft and gooey.

I've put new butt pads on my guns (Pachmayr basketweave, I like) but just used silicone sealant so I can take them apart easily. It only lasts a couple of years but I just rub the remnants off and put more on each time I take things apart. It would depend whether there's a solid surface under the current pad and what its screwed into.
