Nailed on!!! I hadn't thought of that!! I have not looked in the pad holes to see what is there. The pad is still soft so can be used; I had thought that if I replaced the pad I would keep the original (or original-ish) one with the gun. I had to replace the pad on my Three Barrel because in shape and consistency it resembled a ginormous piece of well used chewing gum, and have to agree that the replacement Galazan does feel pretty much like an orange extension of the wood stock......
Thanks for the advice. Key for these guns seems to be making sure they are in a case and not stored butt down in a safe.
