Decent rubber buttpad for A2 stock?

Postby commander faschisto » Fri Jun 03, 2011 2:11 pm

Anyone out there ever found a decent rubber buttpad for the A2 type fixed stock? I've researched a few, but they all seem to be pretty much craptastic, with mount screws that won't tighten up, or pull through the rubber, etc. I usually use a wearable PAST pad when firing the big boomers, and it works great, but I sure would like to replace the meatgrinder trapdoor buttplate that comes standard. Any help would be appreciated.

Get with Gunnut or PM him. He has some Limbsaver pads that work fantastic with the A1 & A2 stocks.

This is the same pad that I have on my 450 that you saw in the video along with
Gunnuts' A1 Recoil-less stock. I personally can endorse Gunnut's stock. It is really amazing.

A week ago, I was at Walmart gettings some BBs and they still carry the Sims Limbsaver slip-on branded as Winchester for a little more than half the price a Sims Limbsaver normally goes for. They're such a good value, I almost bought another one even though I don't need one. They're not unsightly like you Grandpa's slip-on since they're almost the exact same color as an A2 stock and very effective on the 450b. I guarantee if you've shot your 450b without one and then shoot with it, you wont ever shoot without it again. Guarantee! Image

Oh, yeah...I found a camo limbsaver for fairly cheap online...not exactly the same pattern as my stock, but close enough. Will be ops checking soon.

UPDATE 06/21/11: Oh yeah, fine piece of work. 5 stars.

Despite being branded Winchester

Image

This is a Sims Limbsaver

Image

Here's the proof

Image

Last year about this time, I paid $19.95 for it at the local Walmart. A month or so ago, they still had them for $21.95.

Now if you don't mind paying MSRP, there's always Sims P/N 10547

I fixed the broken image links in my post in this thread which I lost when I changed ISP a few years back.
