    recoil pad to change length of pull

    has anyone used a recoil pad for a dual purpose of reducing recoil and lengthening length of pull? If so what product has been used the most?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Are you putting it on a sporting rifle/shotgun?
    Pachmayr&reg Pachmayr your primary source for quality handgun grips and recoil pads

    See the pads and spacers for adjusting LOP.

    A military rifle may be trickier since the butt stocks may be more generous and hollowed out for cleaning gear/tools etc. On some Military Rifles the buttplate wraps over the top of the stock and is inletted.

    The basic answer to your question is yes. Pads and spacers are used to adjust LOP. Sometimes the adjustments are substantial as when a gun cut down for a yout is lengthened back to adult size.

    Regards,
    Jim

    A classy way to do this on a Springfield would be to use one of the "Grenadier" reproduction Black rubber GI pads with the ordnance "Bomb" and part number - and it includes three spacers for internal use. It slips on and off, so no damage to your stock to use it. Just got one off ebay, will be trying it soon. CC
