[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Non-permanent recoil pad for Para stock?

Posted: 10/5/2020 10:10:40 PM EDT

Anybody know of a removable recoil pad for a Para stock?

I'd like to increase the length of pull an inch, inch and a half, and the aluminum butt slides around on my shoulder or the carpeted floor if it's standing like no one's business. Thought I'd kill two birds here and hunt down a recoil pad that could do both. Obviously, this is an FAL, so the 'recoil' part of the equation isn't terribly important.

You might be able to get a Rhodesian-made folding stock and swap the tubes and butt out. They had a rubber butt shaped like the hiduminium one that was, IIRC, glued to the end of the tubes. Wouldn't do anything for LOP, though.

And that would certainly not be "non-permanent".

Well, you could always swap the tubes and stock as an assembly back to the original form if desired. They're held in with a pin.

I wonder if one of the slip on Limbsavers would work?

I found a few slip-on pads on Midway. I'll have to measure the stock and see which one will work. Thanks!

The old krinkov pad worked great

That looks like it will do nicely. Thanks for the lead!
