I haven't tried this myself, only imagined it. It's probably not worth the effort. Most folks replace the synthetics with higher quality aftermarket stocks with real butt pads. Good luck, Balvar24!
I'm considering a factory replacement stock. Didn't know if all factory stocks, including the laminates had the same pad as the FV.
