jdmakersmark 15 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I have the cheapo Tapco stock on my S-12. I am planning to upgrade it when funds allow, so I decided to put a UTG slip on pad for now. I took it out today and put 50 slugs down range. It may have been the best 10 bucks spent yet! The difference was night and day. I could keep shooting if the wallet allowed. I have not run low brass through the gun as the range is slug only, can't wait to see how light the recoil is with low brass. I was always leery of rubber pads as they seem to grab my shirt and get in the way, but this is a welcome additon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vtec16 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Sometimes cheap(inexpensive)works just as good as name brand, but do your homework. The joys of low prices outweigh the anguish of unreliability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I ordered one of these from CSS but have not had a chance to try it out on my S12. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grommit666 24 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have one of those too and it makes a huge difference when shooting slugs. The first time I took my lead slinger out to the range shooting slugs, that metal plate on the butt hamburgerized my shoulder. As an added bonus it makes the stock an extra inch longer which is great for those of us with long arms. My only complaint is that it is easy to knock off by accident. I've considered attaching it permanently but I still have reservations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I could barley see a bruise after the recoil pad, before my shoulder was black and blue for a few days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grommit666 24 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I've got the standard Tapco AK fixed stock (http://www.tapco.com/products/ak_modern/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=35). It's functional but I do wish it were longer. Being in California, my stock options are somewhat limited. The UTG recoil pad makes replacing the stock a much lower priority though.

Domack 0 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 What is the best coil reducion pad for the Tapco AK fixed stock? Is there any other pad options beside UTG recoil? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sam Cro 14 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Arnisandyz - where do you buy this Limbsaver? Will it fit on a standard Warsaw length AK stock? What do you need/do to fit this on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnisandyz 0 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) The Limbsaver is a custom grind to fit model 10544 I bought here http://www.walnutcre...hmdtda19i3ksqv7 I was all ready to fabricate an adapter plate but was happy to find that the holes line up close enough to go directly into the Tapco Warsaw stock. It will probably work BETTER with a standard wood WARSAW stock because you can plug the existing holes and drill new ones into the solid wood that perfectly match the mounting holes for the stock. The is plenty of material on the recoil pad as it comes to cover a wide range of stocks. You'll need to square up the stock so its flat on a belt sander then grind a bunch of material off from the recoil pad using a belt sander. Limbsaver has a how too on there website. It took some work but I'm happy with the results! I liked it so much I bought another one to custom fit on my AR15. Edited August 15, 2010 by Arnisandyz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
