iSaiga 4 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 The AK platform is so ubiquitous, yet nobody makes a decent slip on or screw on recoil pad. Does anybody have any leads on one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
schultze13 354 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I have 2 nice ones ( I am not selling) that are for the AK-100 style folders that screw on and are factory. There are some nice one out there that slip on regular or under folders that are not to much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

midnaite 43 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 no offense but I don't get it, I'm not what you'ld call a strongman(I'mthe french type guy, the kind you americans imagine we are, 1.78m/65kg) but I can handle the recoil of the saiga very well, even with magnum, what is the use of this recoil pad ? I have the fiber folding factory stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XXasdf 29 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) +1 on limbsavers much more comfortable to shoot with it. A few rounds without a recoil pad won't hurt you too bad but 100rd dumps at the range will leave you bruised. Edited October 8, 2010 by XXasdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have the fiber folding factory stock. We don't think Frenchmen are weak, we think they stink. Or at least that's what I've been told. (just kidding). The recoil doesn't usually bother me either, but there are times when a little more cushion would be nice if I'm shooting a lot. à chacun ses goûts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Etek 32 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 This 'Pussy Pad' is for your wife correct? Unless you are testing 3 inch slugs all day long Man Up! Pull that fugger TIGHT and place it CORRECTLY on your shoulder. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have the fiber folding factory stock. It's so the girls aren't scared of it as much. Kinda like a 3' padded sissy-bar on a bike. It makes the girls more comfortable when you just lean against them & peg them to it while riding, but in all reality it's more troublesome than learning proper technique... But at least your scooter looks cool & you get to rest on boobs with the sissy-bar. I have the one pictured below, but I only slip it on for the ladies. I shoot with a Warsaw length stock, so the added length of the pad makes it feel too long, like a NATO length does to me. (And I'm 6'1" 210 lbs with long arms.. I guess it's just what you're used to) Mine is a UTG like most of the vendors here sell. I would advise shaving all the little points off the rear with a razor blade, as they're quite uncomfortably hard & sharp if you're shooting in a thin shirt. It works by simply dispersing the force of recoil over a larger footprint. Edited October 9, 2010 by Paulyski Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pull that fugger TIGHT and place it CORRECTLY on your shoulder. Why dont you share what the proper technique is for running thru 200+ rounds of 12g and not ending up with a bruised shoulder at the end of the day. My normal day of shooting the S12 consists os 2 100 round packs of Winchester universal (1325fps steel shot) and a handful of 5 pack boxes of full power RIO #4 buck. End of day = bruised shoulder and a large grin on my face. Edited October 9, 2010 by Mullet Man Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise, it's a 12 gauge... It's gonna leave a mark regardless of what you do. If you get something really soft, it won't be durable & butt-stroking will be ineffective. I guess that's why people say "grow a pair". It takes a little getting used to, but doesn't bother you much when you get used to it... Or once one "grows a pair".

blackshoesnipe 0 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I bought an Izzy "Pussy-Pad" for the Girls. Bruising and broken blood vessels, are one of the joys of shooting 12ga. kinda like sore muscles after a good workout. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Etek 32 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 The Russians have a pad that is stackable and has hard inserts for length of pull adjustment. They came on the Saiga-12.com sidefolder but they are no longer listed nor could I find the pad or LOP hard inserts recently. Mac? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh i know and thats what i'm saying, if you run thru a couple hundred rounds you're gonna get bruised because "its a 12g". I dont use a pad altho i have thought of trying one of the slip ons at some point. I'd prolly have to switch back to a Warsaw stock with one to get the LOP back to how i like it, like the NATO length stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

one2za 7 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) While we're on it. Anyone that uses this type of slip on pad, care to give any feedback on it its performance? Had one on my Yugo M70AB2 for a while. Was very hard rubber,somewhat heavy and could not fold/unfold with magazine in place. Took it off and sold it. I have THIS 1" ONE from CSS on my S12. I added a few holes to make it cushier. (special technique required) Works great! Edited October 9, 2010 by one2za Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JamesLi 47 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I'm not following the whole "be a manly man" deal and have your shoulder beat to hell just because. If there is an option to reduce the recoil why not take advantage of it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nailbomb 10,221 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I only ever added them when I felt I could use a little more LOP for some additional eye relief. That said, neither S-12 has one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I put one on just for a little added length on my Kvar stock. To ME it makes the recoil almost non existent .... I 'spect from the wider footprint it offers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
