Carolina Drifter Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Has anyone purchased and used a prefitted recoil pad or spacers for their Stoeger Coach gun and recall what brand or model number? Id really like to increase the LOP. I'm aware of the leather stock cover option and may end up going that route but figured I'd ask anyway just in case.

Juan Solo Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 While I have not personally used one, i have seen one used: http://www.kick-killer-recoil-pads.com/kick-killer-slip-on-recoil-pad-with-lace-up-closure/ Not sure if this is what you meant by the leather stock cover, but if it was feel free to ignore this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patagonia Pete Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Print out these templates .... Take off your buttplate and see if you can find a match. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1999/2905/files/RecoilPadTemplateGuide.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on their website today and seen some for other models but not the coach guns. It's possible I overlooked or misread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The retailer lists it as a fit for the Uplander. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/10111 edit: here is the Stoeger pad but I don't know how that would fit on a stock that came w/ a buttplate (the double defense is the "black" coach gun thingie ... comes w/ a butt pad from the factory). Same deal w/ the Uplander ... (do they all come from the factory w/ a butt pad??). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rance - SASS # 54090 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I bought (don't know the name brand) a "Grind to fit" butt pad.. They sell 'em at yer local gun store.. They have them in large and small sizes.. They have gel inside to absorb impact.. I resized mine to fit with a belt sander.. I bought a large one first.. Ground it down.. Oops walls a became too thin.. Gel oozed out.. Had to grind too much off.. Sooooo... I bought the small one.. Less grinding no oozing Rance Thinkin' we all learn a little by our own screw ups.. Just sayin.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major BS Walker Regulator Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I too have always just bought a grind to fit recoil pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder SASS #13056 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I've used both. I prefer to have a fixed recoil pad as it lasted much better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I installed mine 32 years ago... Pachmayr "White Line" recoil pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I have always used grind-to-fit. So I have a question. If you buy the pad for your gun, you remove the butt plate and screw it directly on right. Removing the 1/4 inch plate then screwing on a 1in pad, your gun is now 3/4in longer. If you cut off the stock to keep LOP the same, won't you have to grind the pre-fit pad to fit? GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the original poster wanted a longer LOP.. Rance Just my thinkin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Your correct on OP question, Rance But you and I know we slip off topic once in a while. At least thought it was a point to be answered regards recoil pads. Plus I wonder how close pre-fit pads fit over the range of factory tolerance on stocks. Ruger grips is a point of thought.

Carolina Drifter Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Thanks for the replies everyone. After reading comments here and researching more I've come up with my solution. I needed to add 1" to 1.25" to my LOP. So I ordered a Pachmayr Decelerator slip on pad. Not personally a fan of slip on's but it seemed to be one of the easiest and least expensive methods (caught it on sale). I'll likely end up making a wrap around leather stock cover for it with some left over leather I have laying around that way the looks of the new recoil pad won't bother me . Thanks again, CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
