Re: Finished Prototype Adjustable Recoil Pad

Interesting point there Gary, I never adjust mine on the fly so the thought hadn't really crossed my mind... however they are tapped with a standard thread so could quite easily swap the grub screw for a thumb screw etc. Something I will definitely look in to.

Finished Prototype Adjustable Recoil Pad

Just finished work on my prototype adjustable recoil pad. Feels really great in the shoulder and is very positionable!! Learnt a lot from this one though and will make a few tweaks to streamline the design before I make the next one, until then, have some pics to gawk at :D

I've thought about reducing piston weight but wondered if anything else would have t...
