Slip on pads

Post by Hilltop »

Any recommendations for a quality slip in pad. Need to increase lop by 1/2” or a bit more.
Thanks
Cory

Cory, I've tried various slip on pads over the years and all of them felt bulky, rubbed against often brittle vintage stock varnish, and would more/less catch when shouldering the gun. If only 1/2" or less additional LOP is needed I suggest getting a spacer and new pad fitted. Easily done using one of many modern fitting jigs without affecting the stock finish with the pad and spacer off the gun. New mounting holes are drilled in the pad, spacer and gun butt, that don't impinge on the original buttplate mounting holes. Then if sooner or later you want to move an otherwise original Fox, the pad and spacer are removed and replaced with the original buttplate. JME. frank
