Pachmayr deceleration pad

Posted by Carnis Compton on December 10, 2020, 8:49 pm

I need ti add 1” to the length of pull on a 16Ga FW shotgun and like the looks of the Pachmayr D752B pad. My other 16G has a 14” length of pull, the new to me 16Ga is 13”.

All suggestions would be appreciated.

Carnis; The D752B is my favorite for the Smith guns hands down.They look good,work well and are one of the easiest to grind to finish.They come in .6' .8' and 1".Be carefull of your needed size when ordering.Most Smith stocks take the small size in these pads.Kick Ez makes a 1.2" thick if needed.These grind like trying to grind a bowl of jello when they get warm when grinding.I put mine in the freezer for a while when it gets too soft when grinding.If you need to make up a lot of length to a stock the folks at Conneticut Shotgun make pads up to 1.5" thick but they are way oversize for Smith stocks and take a lot of grinding to finish.They do look like some of the origianl pads that came on Smiths.They are a harder type of rubber and don't do much for recoil reduction.If you have any questions give me a call. 410-756-2095 Good luck on your projects. Charlie.

I agree that the Decelator pads are excellent. I usually choose the SC100 Sporting Clays model. It has a hard insert at the top that helps prevent snagging on clothing when mounting. To me, this is just as important when hunting as it is shooting clays. The insert doesn't affect the recoil absorption, and works better than the bevel that Kick-Eez uses. I tried a Kick-Eez on one of my clay guns, and it didn't last as long as the Pachmayrs do.
