Suggestion for Recoil Pad on Enfield No 4 Mk2

[sirdutch]

You can buy one on eBay that fits on the end of MK2 Enfield using the screws from the butt plate. It fits on the plate so there are no permanent changes to your rifle. If the link doesn't work just search for Enfield recoil pad.

Anyone know if there is a slip on available with a cheek pad? I've seen one on a rifle in a pic so I know they exist but I have no idea where to find one.

Gee I wonder how the "greatest Generation" from whatever side used these rifles without "recoilpads" and shot the darn things for years on end in some cases.

Personally I "sling up" and shoot prone. Today I fired 60 rounds out of my Enfield, 20 plus out of a K31 and 20 plus out of a m91/30. My shoulder is fine.... my chin/cheek area...... thats another matter. Nothing a little of the wifes makeup wont "blend in" for going to Church Sunday AM.

They were mostly kids just like i was when i was in the military. Unfortunately, 30+ years of high power shooting, disc replacement surgery in my neck and and a good dose of arthritis makes using a PAST pad standard operating procedure for me with high power rifles from here on in.

Did your front sight work out OK?

[ptf18]

Brian: Yes. I got the "new" front sight pieces installed and using 150gn PPU ammo got a 200 yard zero witht the rear sight a click or 2 over the 200 rear sight setting. I used the - 30 front blade and still had to file down the blade to get that ammo zeroed.

When I finished shooting foe the day I brought out the Enfield again and fired 15 additional rounds at 200 yards on a NRA SR-C target. Me, the rifle and PPU ammo held the 10 ring. I wasnt really impressed but I dont know if it was me, the rifle or the ammo. I'll try it again next time Im at the range.

Thanks

I bought one of these....

Amazon.com: Gel Filled Recoil Pads: Sports Outdoors

and slip it on first, then...

I bought one of these....

Amazon.com: Pachmayr Deluxe Leather Slip-On Pad: Sports Outdoors

and slip it on over the first one.

I also have a bad back....D.D.D., 8 fused vertebra and then a car accident...so the big sticks are very painful to shoot without some help. These work well for me.


Now you know why the call me Bionic Back.

Have you considered using a Past should pad? I occasionally use one now and find it make a huge difference. If you used a slip-on and the should pad I bet it would have the kick of a .223.. just my 2cents.
