...also, those early guns had solid rubber recoil pads. Here's a photo of my first stock that lives in my library (and was easy to get to). Ted had a try gun and took me to the local skeet range for fitting. The first stock had the added spacer, but the second one was a truer fit and did not have the spacer. I could not see much detail in the GI photos, but that butt plate did not seem to fit well (but, again, I could not get much detail). I would sure ask pointed questions about the stock head.
