London Guns Recoil Pads Available

[Bill Murphy]

It looks as if Mark Beasland (Born Again Birdguns) has found someone to reproduce the wonderful old London Guns solid red profiled recoil pad. When London Guns in Santa Barbara, California discontinued these pads, we were a bit disappointed. These pads have small plugs and were useful for smaller butts. His price is $35.00.

Thanks, Russ.

Does anyone know what the distance between the screw holes would be on these? Thanks.

[David Noble]

Appears to be approximately 3 3/8".

[Bob Brown]

Still pretty big for what I need. Its off a grade 3 1912 Ithaca Flues 16 gauge. It is one of the Krupp steel lightweights and the butt is only 4 3/8" by 1 3/8". I suppose I'll have to get this one and drill a new screw hole.

[David Noble]

Bob, what is your existing hole spacing?

[Bob Brown]

David, there is only about 2.2" between the existing holes. 3 3/8" would put them very close to the toe and heel.

[Bill Murphy]

I believe the London Guns pad has shorter spacing, maybe 3". Contact Mark Beasland for a measurement. I have a couple, but am not able to get to them. I believe the Repro No Shoc is 3 1/8 with small plugs, very useful for small guns.

Galazan's had similar Silvers pads, also Jostan and Hawkins pads, my favorites for vintage guns.
