Also pictured below is a Fox CE with this pad fitted to a curved butt.
And also another parker with a Sput added to the pad in order to be able to properly replace a Dogs Head Buttplate with no modification to the wood in any way.

However, a normal Parker curved butt is no problem for these CSMC pads.
Grinding them for a proper clean fit is another story and is best done by someone who knows what they are doing if you have not done one before. |
That first picture looks very familiar Brian.
You did a great job matching that extreme radius on the butt.
Thanks.
