With me, its the kitchen table gunsmith jobs that are usually deal killers. Buggered up screws, cut stocks with badly fitted pads, cut barrels, and any kind of pitting.

I'm not a fan of recoil pads to begin with, so badly fitted hack jobs are a real turn off (even though many can be fixed).

One more, why do people feel the need to put a pad on a .410? Just me.

Or a 16, 20 or 28 for that matter? A Silvers pad isn't that soft either but I can see it being used to increase LOP.

I will not purchase a gun with excuses. "Great gun but has a repair the the stock" etc. There are enough guns out there that do not have excuses.
