Default Replacement Recoil Pad

Hello All. I inherited a Trojan 20 ga, manufactured in 1923. It is in very fine shape, with the exception of the recoil pad, which has "melted" and become very hard.

I thought it would be worth trying to find an original pad to replace it with. Does anyone know where I can buy one?

Thank you for any input.

Because it is a replacement stock with a pad added, the current Galazan pad with fifteen may fit. Try counting the holes in the photo and allow for the crushed ones not visible. Is it not a fifteen already on the gun?

If the gun is too short for you now would be the time to add a black spacer of 1/8" or 1/4" to the pad and then the larger pad would in all probability fit. Worth a try. If you buy the pad and it does not work you can always dispose of it here if you are a member. A job for a professional if you want it installed flawlessly.

Original smaller pads are out there, but you'll have to look hard and pay dearly.

Just my 2 cents; waiting for the blade of the guillotine to fall on my post.

Hi Gregg, where in the US are you?

A Silvers style pad would likely be most appropriate, but it would probably be best if a good stock man were to install it for you.

Since it was a family gun why not put back what the relative had on it? It is a Hawkins heart/diamond shaped pad, and you can find them at Brownells.

What kind of lace on leather pads might fit a Parker like that and what period did they start appearing on shotguns?
