jamen 8 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 SCHULTZE, Where did your get you recoil pads and how do they attach? I got them off of gunbroker payed 50 each they replace the steel endplate on the AK-100 stocks and screw on. I got one of these and don't understand how it works. First, the rubber button spot, for pushing the unlock button on the stock doesn't reach the button. It seems to need another part, like a short length of dowel, for you to be able to reach the button through the recoil pad. Second, the place for the latch to catch is in a different place on the recoil pad, as compared to the standard stock. I checked it on both a Bulgarian and a Russian Izhmash stock. The metal ones have a longer spot for the latch, so when I put the recoil pad on, it doesn't come anywhere near the latch. Is there a second part, to 'extend' the reach of the button, so pushing on the rubber spot actually reaches the latch release button thingie? And why isn't the latch spot the same on the pad as it is on the metal buttplate? I guess some pics might help illustrate what I'm talking about, but I don't have any.

BruisedShoulder 7 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) While we're on it. Anyone that uses this type of slip on pad, care to give any feedback on it its performance? Works great for me!!! In fact, it works so well, I may have to change my username. Edited January 12, 2011 by BruisedShoulder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I really don't get all the macho malarkey. I know that guy above must really like his "Buttstroking" but that sounds like improper technique to me. Improved ergonomics are better. If you really buy into this "be a man, use something painful and clumsy," why aren't you using a pupm gun with a wood stock? The S12 appeals to people who want a better shotgun even if it is different from what they are used to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BrntWS6 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I contacted FSE and that pad will NOT fit the Tapco T6 stock. Damn! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azrial 1,091 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Pay no attention to the guys for whom the S12 is a range toy to try and prove their machismo. A good pad can aid in making the shotgun more controllable and faster back on target. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EJ45 38 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I remember not long ago someone was asking about putting a limbsaver type pad on a Kvar stock .... any ideas on this ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Caged_Bird 474 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I use a steel plate the size of a normal AK stock: 4"x1 1/2" Why??? Because it hurts soooooo good... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magineer 9 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 my apologies if posting this link is against forum rules, but here are some that I personally prefer, FSE USA, they fit everything. http://www.fseusa.co...c499ab465a91a3e How do you get it on the Saiga 12 stock? Mine doesn't want to slip on and I've got the factory setup. Seems like it's just too small to fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
