The inlet spur is an indication that your gun was built that way and since C grades were offered with recoil pads at no additional cost I suspect the original chose the pad. You do have a problem, however, and that is that the Silvers #4 rifle pad does have a spur but it doesn't begin to conform to the spur on the CHE or the PH and they look different also. The #3 Silvers pad is flat and that may be an option if you are willing remove some wood. Galazan stocks the #3 Silvers pads but I don't recommend the cheaper copies they offer as the mounting holes are predrilled and are not always concentric with the plug holes. I also recommend you sand the back of the #3 pad flat for best mounting results. I have also removed the spurred black portion of the recoil pad and attached new rubber to it with high strength clear epoxy which worked well, but it was on a Damascus gun which I never took afield. Good luck with your endeavor!
