The only thing I would do is replace the adjustable pad with a period correct Silvers pad.
That's a nice gun with a good bit of family history.

Thanks Dean,

Assuming both need to be in the locked position? I haven't touched a screw driver to the gun. Though I do have a proper gunsmithing set that I use on my other guns. How intricate is that ejector mechanism? Common problem? Broken or wear?

Thanks Rich,

I need to obtain a stock measurement from an unaltered gun as I'm thinking the stock was cut down slightly to accept the adjustable butt plate. Sad as the wood on this gun is pretty nice IMO. The stock measures 14-13/16" to the butt plate mounting surface now and length of pull is about 14-1/4".

I like the design, feel, and function of the existing pad but to the purist it's most definitely a technical foul. My suspicion based on who purchased the gun for my father is the gun came from an older trap shooter and he installed it in order to raise the comb and lower the point of aim.

Appreciate the input gentlemen!
