How to install a rubber recoil pad: Part 2

[@tonywestbrook6436]

The average joe thinks it's as simple as changing out a light bulb for another until seeing your video. Lots of time consuming and precision work goes into changing or adding a recoil pad. Great tutorial sir!! Well illustrated!!

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Thank you ! It does take a lot of patients. This is one of those jobs that you go slow to go fast.

[@texaswader]

Perfection! What the work of a master gunsmith looks like; the fit is perfect, no ridges and no screw holes visible. Man I enjoy your channel.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Geez....thank you.

I have a Citori Lightning that I'm wanting to perform this task on. In my late 60's, I only hope my hands are steady enough to do it correctly and neatly. Thanks for all the tips.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Thanks for watching...really appreciate it! If you havent...please watch part 1. They are a set

[@daviddixon9598]

Great job! Better than some gunsmith jobs I've seen. My son has a Ruger number 1 that was hacked by someone. I've done a few but this time I plan to buy a fixture.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Thanks David! Been doing this for a long time.

Very nice work. I spent many years as a Level II Gunsmith, doing just about every job imaginable. But pads were one of them. It can be tricky work such as avoiding the steel plate and grinding to continue the lines of the stock. Many would think it's a quick and dirty job, but we both know it requires attention to many details.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Yes sir. Takes patience and a willingness to do it right. Thank you for the comment.

Great Job I loved your video

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Thank you Cody...fun to make

I'm going to Gunsmithing school at the moment and I really wish they would allow us to use a belt sander because hand sanding the recoil pad down takes so long.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Well...learning handwork is an essential first step to understanding material and technique. It is important to understand time and feel. I may start with a machine...but if you watch...I always finish by hand. It also teaches patients...that is so critical to craft. Thanks for watching and commenting Trojan!

Was that a big scratch visible at 6:42?

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Yep...This is a working shotgun and not a closet queen. The guy that owns it is a very good skeet shooter.

[@williambrown2453]

Great job!

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Thank you William (Bill?)

[@TheSchuey1]

Great stuff. So cool to see this done without a fixture. Is there something specific you use for a sealer. Any suggestions? Thanks for posting.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Thanks for the comment and question. I do seal. I use a thinned down tung oil for sealing the end grain.

A properly fitted recoil pad like this looks worlds better than the current Browning mushy rounded at top and bottom inflex pad they put on everything.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Pachmayr® makes a great pad

[@beefcakes27]

Nice job...

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Thank you Sean

Man are you located in New York I need this done ☑️

HOLA ALGUIEN SABE DE QUIEN PUEDE HACER UNA CULATA PARA ESCOPETA?

[@kenstirling5348]

Putting a recoil pad on is easy. Putting a recoil pad on and having it look like it’s supposed to be there and fit without any misalignment is a difficult task.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

All requires attention to details and patience.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Thank you!

[@Mauser304]

Or, you can call Browning, and they will send you a pre-fit pad.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Curious how they do that especially when the stock is cut down?

[@Mauser304]

@@SixRoundsStudio They couldn't if the stock had been changed. However, they will provide replacements for unaltered stocks.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

@@Mauser304 Still cant but wonder how this can be done even if unaltered. I wonder what in their original production methodology allows for a direct replacement without fitting. I ran Rugers wood shop for over thirty years and am very curious how this is done. I don't mean this as a challenge to you...just very curious.

[@Mauser304]

@@SixRoundsStudio I don't know, I don't work there. However, I have done it twice.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

@@Mauser304 Very interesting. I will have to research this. This would have to be a manufacturing process that somehow makes every stock exactly the same dimensionaly. Would love to understand how they are doing this. Thanks for the time you took.

Stupid music makes this unwatchable. Effing annoying.
