Bruce:
Basically, you are correct. It is essentially simple. But... (there always is one) it is the "curve" of the butt that will hang you up as well as the Barge cement. You must find a way to get the leather onto the pad and smooth it out before the cement fixes it forever. You may also find that you have to thin the Barge a bit to keep lumps out of the surface. Use Barge thinner only. A shoe man can get you some. Best to cover TWO pads. One for practice, one for real. Especially on a C grade gun. Of course you trim the oversize leather after attachment.

Best, Kensal
