Jostam Anti-Flich recoil pad
Jostam Anti-Flich recoil pad
OK gentlemen someone out there must know where I can find a small size (6 slot) Anti-Flich pad. The reason I ask is that I have a very early Sterlingworth Delux that borders on pristine except for the original pad which has deteriorated to the consistency of silly putty. I have considered Jostam Hy-Gun, Hawkins or Silvers but this gun really deserves better.

Re: Jostam Anti-Flich recoil pad
They are where you find them. I once bought a 16-gauge Savage-era Fox-Sterlingworth for $325, just for the Jostam Anti-Flinch on it. Got $600 for the gun in a trade to Mumblin' Gary, and the next time I saw it, my after-market pad was gone and it had a repro butt plate on it and the Hartmann Bros. wanted $925 for it!! All in about eight months time!!
We tried to get repro Anti-Flinch pads made, and the factory office burned with Craig's NOS pads in it!! Got to keep watch in the various auction sites and look through a lot of gunshow junk boxes!!

Re: Jostam Anti-Flich recoil pad
I had a new 6 slot pad that burned up in an office fire in NJ, they were quoting me tooling!! I still have the mint box!!! I have a new mint 7 slot pad---I am just waiting to buy a Super Fox in near mint condition that needs a new AF pad.
