worriedmanRecoil Pad fixture jig
Anybody got one I could borrow? Have had one ordered from Midway (Miles Gilbert)for two months, they keep telling me it is back ordered. I would be glad to pay shipping both ways, need to get my new Limbsaver on the Citori. Got crats to splat.

worriedmanLoaded up some 1 1/2 oz. copper platted , buffered #6's over the weekend, they are bad to the bone, the one in my shoulder too. I could stick them in SBE, but I figure the double is right for night time DG!

johnchI watched a freind do my BT99 pad a few years back without a fixture .
He took the stock off .
Mounted the pad .
Wraped a layer of some kind of alumin foil tape around the stock tight to the pad .
Then a layer of duct tape .
He then proceded to sand down to the duct tape with a 12"disk sander .
When he was done the duct tape had a few scrapes , but the foil tape didn't have any cuts .
A better fit tha the factory in 10 min .
He stated that 90% of the trouble was having the right sandpaper and the right speed .
But doing pads for 30 years and having nerves of steel don't hurt.
I have done several for myself .
I take a hour and replace the duct tape several times .
I use Alumin exaust patch tape
But I get the results I want .

worriedmanI love to tinker, but have about eight thumbs on each hand. I do great work with a sledge or a jackhammer, but my finesse seems to be absent, or broken. Getting the pad up against a 90 degree belt sander sans the gun is probably the right thing for me. I would rather not have the "Opps" that normally occurs when I start on something, happen to the stock of my best weapon. If it has a cord on it, and can do damage, I have been there, done that.
