Butt pad question

The CSMC pad bent with no trouble. but it had a little of a hard time staying down in the very middle. For this one, the pad had to be glued in the very middle.
Also pictured below is a Fox CE with this pad fitted to a curved butt.
And also another parker with a Sput added to the pad in order to be able to properly replace a Dogs Head Buttplate with no modification to the wood in any way.

However, a normal Parker curved butt is no problem for these CSMC pads.

Grinding them for a proper clean fit is another story and is best done by someone who knows what they are doing if you have not done one before.

That first picture looks very familiar Brian. You did a great job matching that extreme radius on the butt. Thanks.
