Well,, kinda sorta. A few months ago I was picking up some supplys & they were unpacking a jacuzi. They were throwing away a bunch of 1x8 & 1x6,s in the dumpster. I thought,,,, man I could use that for some shelves n such!! Well,,, as a joke of sorts I laminated up 3 pcs of those scrap 1x8,s yesterday & cut a stock from them. I was gonna spray them with bedliner for durability & have a stock to play around with. Well,,,,, after I cut it out I realized my latest shipment of butt pads must be coming by pack mule & is STILL not here.(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-frown.gif)So,, just to keep the joke goin I cut one out of scrap laminate. Hmmmm,,,, pretty cool looking I thought. Well,, must cut a hard grip cap from the same laminate as well!! Now,,,, what started out as a joke is now looking pretty cool. I just dont have the heart to spray this with black bedliner. The "Pad" is drilled to match my Pachmyr butt pad "Butt" I kinda like the looks of the Camo Green laminate!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif)I will be selling this one as a DIY for a bargain price. Spray it with bedliner ifin Ya want,,,,,, I just cant do it!! LOL!! Think I will stamp this one: "Dumpster 001" !!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif)Timbo.

Heya Michael. The pics really dont do the "Pad: justice. It has a pretty pronounced curve kinda like a Morgan pad that really locks into your shoulder!! I cut 2 extras yesterday but the holes match the Pacmyr template in the pic. If you want one for your factory stock I can drill to match that also as I have 2 factory stocks/plastick pads here. I will cut one & install it on a factory stock today. I have several differant colors as well. Lemmie see how it goes,,,, Im thinking $8-$10. Watch the "Shop" later today.(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif)Tim.
