vhe butt stock pad
 

would appreciate recommendation regarding replacement of non-original butt pad. vhe built 1921. Options being considered, Hawkins,Jostams, 'original' J.W.Silver.All available from Connecticut Arms.
Thanks Harold

Harold first of all welcome to the forum. As far as pads go any of the period pads you’ve suggested would be appropriate. It becomes a matter of personal taste. I like my pads to have a very thin leather face put on as it helps me get the gun in place during the mount.

Good afternoon Larry
I appreciate your response. In addition to your comments the photo of three beautiful stocks wearing different pads suggest each can be appropriate.
Thanks Harold

Silvers is the only way to go as far as I'm concerned, they just really dress up an old gun.

Good afternoon Destry

Then Silvers it will be!

Buy a real one, not one of the reproductions either. And you might as well go ahead and get the brick red rather than the London orange. The orange ones turn that brick color over time, just saves years of use to buy red already.

Good morning Destry

Agree...The 'real' pad is on order from Conn.Arms.
