Thread: A stupid question

I know aftermarket pads are bigger than required and are trimmed to suite the stock profile this stock is quite slender and most aftermarket that suite are 10mm wider and 20mm longer like the Bisley pad, i want to keep the rifle correct to the period hence the a specific type of pad, it was lucky enough to find some rosewood to replace the tip and pommel but unfortunately the white spacers(if thats what they're called) were made of some sort of bone and to brittle to save.
