I received my letter from MC in record time THANKS. As you can see no mention of the Silvers Pad. My understanding is if it had a Silvers pad it would be reflected in the price (an additional $5.00) The pad is rock hard plus the butt is curved and the widows peak is present on the top pad/stock. What is your best guess on the pad. The LOP with the pad is 14", same as the letter? Thanks Craig (beginner Parker collector)
