I am not sure. I know it is not a Silver’s. Craig and I both like the smaller plugs on a leather pad. He does modify the pad to ensure it has a good shape for the leather to wrap around.

You might consider what size the plugs are on the pad you choose, and whether or not the gun is a big bore or a small bore. To me, pads with very large plugs look bad on a small bore.
