Period Correct Recoil Pad Question
I have an 1877 plain twist lifter, grade 0. As I received it there is no pad or butt plate and the butt is flat with tang inletting on the top heel and evidence of old adhesive on the butt. I figured it either came from the factory with a pad or someone cut the stock and put one on at some point. Whatever was there is gone now. My qestion is what would be the period apropriate pad (or close) for this gun? I figure that is easier than cutting the curve to refit a steel butt plate and would make the LOP more usable for me. Thanks.
