Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Flip flop recoil pad install --HOW TO

Background story... my father passed away last month (May 10, 2012 @ 62yrs old). This rifle (Ruger 10/22 magnum) was a birthday gift from me to him during 2003. For small game hunting, this Ruger magnum was his favorite and he cherished/took very good care of it. He re-shaped/slimmed down the stock and added an M1 carbine hand guard to it.

I stippled the stock and will refinish it in Tru-Oil..





Flip-flop pad goes on...and what was cut off.....



Left the top screw and part of factory plastic pad on..




Stippling done with diamond ball tip on Dremel...
