A shooter showed up at the range with a 1903 Springfield that had a rubber recoil pad marked US on it that was slipped on the stock. One opinion came forth that proclaimed that it was original and was used on the rifle so that when firing rifle grenades and the stock was placed on the ground...that the recoil would not batter the stock. Another voice proclaimed that the pad was not original and came from/was used on the 1897 riot gun. I shouldered the weapon and felt that the pad added length to the feel of the stock and it didn't seem "right". Any information or opinions would be appreciated. Thank you. J.Cooper
