No where did I say I was cutting off an original stock and putting on a pad. I did say I was giving him the original stock plus a bedded stock with a pad.
I understood that from the beginning, and good job!
There are loads of pre 64 stocks in about any configuration (except the one you need at the time) on eBay; but you have to want one of them, as they are awfully proud of them.
Funny about "the one you need at the time." I just got through with that exercise. Paid a bit too much for one, a nice price on another, and I just about stole one. The good news is the cut ones are a good bit less than the original butt plate ones. Not good if you need an unmolested one.
Years ago, before the internet, pre 64 Win parts were hard to find. Now they are everywhere, but there are countless M70's being disassembled and parted out; many for no good reason except the mighty dollar.
Yes, and it is a shame.
I do my best to reassemble pre 64 model 70's.
Good on you again!
I am not recoil shy, but a good pad does reduce felt recoil for sure.
Which explains all the cut ones that are not too short.
