Correct Period Pad
This is the original pad that all high-grade gun companies used. It is exactly like the pre- World War II Silvers pad. Early guns by Purdey, Parker, Fox, Ithaca, Winchester, Holland, Sauer, Merkel, L.C. Smith, etc. would have been shipped with this pad. It is absolutely indistinguishable from the original in style, size and color. It makes the finest base for traditional leather covered pads. No other pad like it is currently manufactured. Base measures 6' long and 1 31/32' wide (at the widest point). It has two 5/8' diameter 'knock out' plugs for easy access to screw holes during installation. Screw holes are 3¼' apart midway between these holes is a cavity 1' wide and 2½' long. Color : orange.
1½' total depth of pad including a' black 'hard rubber' base with a top spur (easily removed). Great for cut stocks or large caliber guns.


Our correct period pad is the exact color of the pre-war silver’s pad. When they are finished in the described manner, they are undetectable from the original pre-war pad. We have spent a lot of time developing the correct color for this pad.

1. After installation of the pad, buff it with Vaseline to add a sheen
2. Coat it with varnish, tru-oil, and shellac and let dry. This will preserve the sheen.
