I’ve seen a bunch of threads on removing or installing recoil pads. But what about cutting an existing attached one down?
I have a 5r Remington .223 with the HS Precision stock (green spatter). It has a 1” recoil pad, which works out to about 14” LOP. Way too long for me, especially in winter with bulky clothes.
I don’t have a belt grinder, well, at least not easily accessible. Can I cut that bastard down with a utility knife to 1/4” and just use sandpaper to soften the edges so it doesn’t look too ghetto?
It isn’t like I need a recoil pad for 223.
