Correct pad

[Mike Franzen]

This is a pic of my SBT with a replacement pad. I would like to replace it with a correct pad. Can you tell me what was used and if one might be available? Thank you

Depends on the DOM Mike, but this will help

Galazan carries several repros including Hawkins, Jostam Hy-Gun, and NoShoc

Mine originally had a Hawkins that I replaced with a new one from galazan

Mike This one has a dogs head buttplate

Trapshooters change gun accoutrements like their socks :rolleyes: so any 20s-30s pad would look fine, but a Silvers repro would probably look best Mike.

The Silvers repro from Griffin and Howe is proper for a 1917 gun. My 1917 SC, #177,741 has an original factory installed Silvers. Some Silvers repros from other sources are known to have some problems.

[Bill Murphy]

Gary, do you have a PGCA letter on that gun? I'd sure like to see it.

[Mike Franzen]

Kynoch over in London are offering original Silvers pads. Wouldn't those work?

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

Bill, I do have a letter will dig it out I have taken the trigger guard off and the ser# and grade are stamped on the wood, and this is not a trap gun it is a GHE with 32" barrels

Mike F., yes, the original Silvers pad is quite acceptable. However, I happened to have ordered a baggo Griffin and Howe pads at the volume price years ago and have been so satisfied I have not bothered to deal with the Brits. I did have a wonderful original Silvers pad that I installed on a nice SC and foolishly sold. I mistakenly thought I had too many Parker single barrels. Silly me. I just bought another one last month.
