recoil pad brass plate show through
 

Having just put a nice galazan pad on a short stocked gun, only to have the brass inner plate come through just as we were doing the final buff:crying:.

Small area but!!!!!

Question is, thought of making a "paint" out of the rubber dust, but wondered what would work as a solvent.

Or, anybody have a better answer?

I would chalk it up to experience and start fresh with a new pad. But that's just me - I don't like to settle for "good enough" when something can be made perfect and can be a source of personal pride.

What pad did you use that it had a brass plate in it?

Mr. Nelson:
You don't specify which type of Galazan pad you used. Or the size. If you attempted to grind down a large sized pad too far, this might happen. It's always best to start with a pad as closely sized to your gun's butt as possible.

As Mr. Romig suggests, perhaps a new pad is the best solution.

I believe the Pachmeyer decelerator pads have a plate inside them....which is why I don't use them anymore. Go with the classic Silvers style recoil pad and you'll never have to worry about that issue again.

They used to. I dont think they do anymore.

Brian, speaking of buttplates do not mean to highjack this thread but have you seen the metal pistol grip plates before on Parkers? Gary

The one on your A grade lifter is the first one that i have physically seen.

Thanks all, the silvers are bit stiff if max recoil absorbtion is desired, but a new pad is likely the way we will go.

Kick-eez pads are great for recoil absorption and they install nicely. But they may not have the look you are going for.
