If you don't want the adjustable "pad" that's on there now it would probably be pretty easy to have the correct "Parker Ilion NY" dog's head butt plate installed - or if you plan to shoot trap with it you can have a 'period correct' recoil pad installed.. There are folks who can just about make those cracks in the BTFE disappear

Thanks Dean, the LOP/cut stock issue has been haunting me for years. Having a correct butt plate sitting in the safe would be nice. Regarding the existing pad, I like it from a functional standpoint. LOP and sight picture is very good as it is.
I figured someone could improve on the BTFE repair, the resin used could have been mixed better. With linoleum flooring we would sand a piece of the material and mix the dust with white glue for seam/crack putty. One could make 'issues' virtually undetectable with that technique. I'd imagine wood repair is similar.
