Re: AI fore end pad?
Little bit of both. Soft against hard always makes for a steadier rest then two hard surfaces against one another.
See my tactical foam pad I double stick taped on here. Again...I stress the word...Tactical.

Hey, shouldn't I get some sort of royalty or something for the use of that?

^^^ The garage door and the shooting mat are still mine, you only get 50% of whatever I make on that fine picture.

Mostly it's because someone thinks it needs it. Sometimes it's because they don't want to scratch the rifle.
Since the AI has a decent amount of use on it, I should take some photos of the battle scars from barricades, doors, fences, rooftops etc. I don't use the pads because it's just one more thing to stick on the rifle and IMHO it's not needed. Scratches all blend together over time.

I run one because you can load into the rifle a little when its sitting on a barracade. Plus it gives a slip resistant surface to grab the rifle.
Don't give a shit if it prevents scratches. My rifle is beat to hell anyway.

I just took deck tape (abrasive tape) and taped up the underside of the chassis. The same tape job has held for @ 18 months. No protection to the rifle an no padding for barricades but it is a very positive surface for shooting slung up.
Good luck
