Looks beautiful! Nice job.
Shoot vintage firearms, relax, and have fun.

Re: Getting the B ready for Ducks
Good job, Spyder. A couple rubdowns with French Polish will "age" that pad and make it look not-so-new. (Another great tip I learned from Frank)
I have used the Miles Gilbert jig for several years. I wanted to buy the one that Brownell's advertised, that worked like a pendulum (best way I know of to describe it}, but they were not available so i bought the MG one. It has worked very well.
I've got to install a KickEez on a 28 ga. Beretta O/U one day soon, for a friend. The MG jig will be pulled out once again to do so.

Re: Getting the B ready for Ducks
Yes Spyder a very nice job. I too like the 1/2" pads made by CSMC and will take the time to enlarge the screw hole centers to exact 3/8" diameter and to make 3/8” plugs from a donor pad ..... which comes close to replicating a vintage SW Silvers pad insofar as looks but without the giganto screw hole plugs.
My pad jig is the "pendulum" type as referred to by Stan, made by Kick Eez, and is mounted on a high speed 12” disc sander that's dedicated to pad fitting work. Shown here already set for the comb line and toe angle and getting started on grinding a pad. frank

Incidentally I first tried cropping this pic from my IPhone's library and posting directly = again a no go. "File too large". I'd sure like to see our Admin work with the Fox site’s cyber host to get the allowed file size increased. I don't have any problems posting any of my iPhone library pics directly onto the Parker site and without doing extra steps as here.
