Recoil pad question
Good evening, and an early Merry Christmas (season) to everyone. I have recently obtained a nice SC Grade Parker SBT, and am looking forward to shooting it. The recoil pad on it is serviceable, but has seen far better days. It appears to be a Jostam, but without the slots I have seen in these in the past.
According to the Parker Story, Parker didn't offer a specific pad, certainly not one of their own, so really anything goes on these? Connecticut Shotgun seems to offer a Galazan Jostam repro, a Hy-Gun, which might be ok, but they also have a repro Silver and repro Hawkins.
I am new to this field; I have collected and shot military rifles and old handguns for years, and just in the last four years have gotten into trap shooting. I stumbled across a couple of nice old trap shotguns which I love shooting, and have now been more actively hunting down examples. Recoil pads are definitely an area of deterioration on most of them. What do the experienced folks on this site feel would be most appropriate on a Parker SBT, since I wouldn't be able to find the same style repro Jostam as is on it? That would be assuming that the old Jostam IS the original one mounted to the gun.
Any advice appreciated!
Thanks
Ed
