I have thought of doing many things. One of which was a published Parker Disassembly Instruction book that covers all models and such. But I see that there are at least 2 others similar things out there for purchase. I have not picked any up yet to see if I can improve on them in any way.
Anyway... back to the videos. Midway USA has many great how-to videos on their YouTube chanel.
Check them out Tom. They may help you.
In fact, the Miles Gilbert fitting jig that Larry uses in his video is the same one that I use. It works well.
I have not used the hanging type that Brownells offers. But I have heard it works well. But I cannot figure for the life of me, by looking at it, how you would set proper angles with it. Maybe it is for those who do not care about such little details...
We are, unfourtunately, in the days when many do not care about proper workmanship in something as small as a recoil pad.
The hottest seller of mine at gun shows is from the little box that I put out at every show labeled "Used Recoil Pads: $3.00ea". I sell them like they are going out of style. All these beat up old White Line pads that I replace or pull off parts guns end up in that box. Then some guy comes by with his jack knife widdled piece of cardboard or rubber in the shape of his butt and says "that one is close enough" and gives me his $3.
And I digress...
