    According to page 46 of the NRA rules it states.

    http://thecmp.org/wp-content/uploads/CMPGamesRules.pdf

    Must be in as-issued condition. No fiberglass stocks, special bedding
    (glass bedding, etc.), match triggers or other special accurizing are
    permitted.
    What about say OZ armourers using brass of aluminum pads? Not as issued maybe but a field repair. ( I can hear Peter choking on his scotch now.)

    I have done 2 sets of repairs myself and I used brass pads with brass screws, but they are range guns and no one cares for club shoots. You could of course make them out of a hard wood and I think some were. The advantage of pads is you can shim them to get the barrel spot on along its groove. Now if you are good and I mean very good at woodworking OK, I tried Peter's wood way and gave up simply shimming them as its a very complex 3d thing..


    Looking at the rules it doesnt say anything about using specific glues So I would use Epoxy myself for its durability.
