I don't have the stock, it was straight and it had an orange pad with the same markings as yours. I fit it to another VH20. I'm sure it was old Delgrego wood from a restock. The pad resembled a Silvers.

Both of those stocks have had the comb filed off. Here is a pic of an original straight grip stock. Take note of the comb height and shape.

I agree my DH comb is definitely lowered from standard, even so it’s still a very low DAH stock. The gun’s SN it bears has an interesting history of being returned, refitted to another gun. I kind of suspect the Del Grego stock was made that way, though. Hard saying for sure, of course. |

Does anyone have a picture of a Del Grego orange pad? |

I've been dealing with the Del Gregos since 1971 and have not seen a pad installed by them except the black Pachmayr. If I wanted a Silver pad installed, I had to send them one.

Personally, I can shoot a gun with a little too much drop better than I can one with too little. Burying your cheek hard on the comb, to get the gun to shoot lower, is distracting at best and often leads to a bruised cheek as well. It's much easier to cheek a comb lightly, on a gun with lots of drop, than it is to cheek one hard that has too little drop. |

Here is a 32" 20g. VH that I restored last year. It was restocked to exactly match the original stock which had been damaged at the head. It has a full comb and straight comb. 1-5/8" at comb and heel. It lettered exactly as such.

From years and years of shooting skeet and trap birds with a gun that was pretty much 70/30 with all the barrels I truely love floating the bird . Sometimes now with field guns I have to make a mental note not to float the bird . This falls back on something I was grumbling about not to long ago . Shooting the same K-32 and just changing barrels or insert tubes was way easier to constantly shoot well as opposed to shooting ten different guns in the various SxS classes . It’s also a bit intensive to try and shoot all ten regularly to maintain the feel for them all . But ............. this is supposed to be fun
