Got a grayboe renegade with pachmayr on. Wanna replace it with limbsaver. Any suggestions?
Gunsmithing Removing glued on recoil pad - Grayboe Stock

Hair dryer/heat gun. Just warm it up, the glue should get soft and pliable (enough to pry it off).
ok sweet
Any difference on an HS Precision? And if you wanted to add weight to the butt to better balance the rifle - recommendations, please. I.e., should I mix birdshot with epoxy, bedding compound, etc?
Thanks and God bless America.

HS Precision ones are glued on (at least mine was). I never added weight though. Like the OP, I just wanted a better recoil pad than the solid piece of rubber that came with the stock/rifle.
Roger. Thanks.
Yes per Grayboe, it is glued on.
Will the freezer technique work?

Why?
Ah ok good to know
Did heat work?
I've had limbsaver pads, 2 actually, that broke down and got sticky after 3 or 4 yrs. The first one I figured I'd got solvent on, no way but it had to be something. When the 2nd one started breaking down and getting gummy, I chalked it up to limbsaver. Never had a pachymar decelerator do that.
No way would I glue a limbsaver on. I really wouldn't use one unless it was a prefit model, no way I'd take time to properly fit one.
grayboe and h-s are both glued on. To replace the pad or install a spacer system I cut them off and start over. If weight is to be added both stocks have a cavity you can easily add epoxy/lead shot into, then reinstall your new pad/spacer system.
