Recoil Pad ??

[Roundsworth]

Mike, as far as appearance goes, it looks okay. Is it sticky or flat in any spots? Is it hardening up? If it is still serviceable, I would be tempted to leave it as is. I certainly am not the 'voice of experience', but I did have a pre-war Winchester with a gooey pad. I bought a repro and had Larry Schuknecht install it. Galazan has a bunch of period reproduction pads. This is their '1922 Patent Winchester' pad. Good luck. Cheers!

If your pad is un serviceable, I would suggest a real SILVERS pad not a replica.
Silvers pads are not soft, really rather hard, but that makes the gun look correct.

Any idea as to where would I find a real SILVERS pad?

Are the Silvers pads still being made, or would they be NOS?

I'm pretty sure Galazan has real Silvers pads. If not check with Brad Bachelder.

This is what the recoil pad looked like when I bought the Parker.
I spent a couple of hours cleaning and carefully trimming off the
hard, cracked and crusty edges around the spacer. I was surprised
actually how well it cleaned up. But I do know it’s not as thick or
in the shape that it originally was. I removed a good amount of material.
Did these Parkers come from the factory with these rubber recoil pads?

Silver's pads are still being made. You can purchase them via e-mail direct from Kynoch in England for about $50 each--about $25/pad less than those selling them stateside.

Mike, an original Silvers pad in red would be correct or the gun. It would make your lop 15 1/2, which would be better for you given your height. If your stock has not been cut, you would need a pad with the Nib. The Nib is oversized as is the pad,and needs to be fitted. We do stock them in all configurations and install quite a few of them.

Thanks Brad,
The stock must have been cut, there is no "Nib"
