Recoil pad and tru oil

[Ray Masciarella]

I have never owned an old gun with a pad that wasn't coated with something! That's probably not a good excuse but that's the best I can come up with!

When you get them, they have a sheen to them. But after they are shaved to fit the unshaven part retains the sheen and the rest is dull. So coated them with something gives them a uniform appearance? Preserves them? I don't know but have to figure something out.

Ray, I have had pads put on a few guns. I agree I don't like the way they look when new but if you just shoot the hell outta them they age very nicely.
