JOSTAM pad

[Phil C]

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Bill the gun is an early Flues S/N 264149. It is the first variation I believe with the wedge bolting. What a great gun, I will post some pictures when it returns with the pad. As far as the pad, the nailed on rubber piece had previously been removed. If I did not nail the new rubber piece back on the butt, would you glue the pad to the thin pad and then glue the assembly to the butt?
Now for the barrels If you are intreasted in selling the Knick barrels and I could salvage them for this project I would be intreasted in discussing with you. Also if anyone knows where I can locate a 34" barrel for a flues SBT I would appreciate the information.

Bruce, I will also call Simmons and see what they have to offer. Great to also hear you have a lace on pad being made. I will look forward to checking on the progress. It looks like several members have placed an order for a few items. Nice to see that there are others that appreciate the fine workmanship still avalible for a few more years being turned out by some of the last true American Saddle makers.
