Guys,
Anyone who has done this before, please help me out. I've done quite a lot of mods to the synthetic stocks, but never tried to remove the recoil pad before. Are they screwed on with wood screws like most pads, or glued on?

I'm trying to cut down a LH sysnthetic stock as a starter rifle for a friend's grandson. What I want to do is cut it down, epoxy a wood block in the butt and reinstall the original pad on a grind-to-fit basis. Anyone ever don this before, or if you've just removed the original pad for a replacement, I'd appreciate your advice on how to proceed.

We view this as a temporary, disposable stock to serve an immediate need. As the kid grows, we'll replace later with a full-sized, better quality stock. I'll be doing other accurizing work on the rifle as well.

Thanks in advance.
