I used to hate that curved Morgan Recoil Pad. To even call it a recoil pad is obscene.
Personally, I wouldn't try and put on a original recoil pad if you plan on shooting it a lot. I'd put on a KickEzz or Decelerator for more comfort. Take the pad off and trace the butt on a piece of paper. Take that paper to a gunshop that sells recoil pads. Match the pad up with the outline on the paper. Make sure you get one oversized slightly so it can be ground down to fit. |

I agree that the Morgan pad is ugly, and I'd still love to get an original pad.
I doubt if I'll ever shoot the gun - I'll either keep it as a family heirloom or sell it. Either way, the Morgan has to go. |

Here is a source for either original or reproduction pads. I would think any of the pads other than the ones for Winchester would be period correct. Others may give other sources and answers.

I can't figure out the picture of the forend lug. Can you give us a picture of the forend lug and area toward the breech from an angle directly toward the barrels, not at an angle.

Bill, If you look at the breech end of the lug the radius would indicate the beavertail forend lug which would be correct. A splinter lug is straight across there.

Yup, that is clearly the one-piece reinforced forend lug.

Looks all original Parker yo me. A genuine Silver's pad might be a good choice as well.

I have an additional picture showing the top of the receiver, so I thought I'd add it. Don't know if it helps anything, but I figure it can't hurt.
