Nice job! Definitely will be helpful for someone needing to replace one of these. My bench is always messy too…always doing something on it. Hope you have a great week!
No video talks about how to remove the wood screw out of the rubber pad. After the screw tip comes off the wooden buttstock, u kant back it out further. It just rotates in the hole. Hitting the end sticking out w a hammer failed. It doesn't move 1/32"!!!! Do u know how?
@@shreckenguns6133 Thx 4 ur tip. But the problem is, the screw itself is too short in comparison against the thickness of the rubber pad. I tried a punch n hammer w two 2 x 4 wood piece under the rubber to allow the screw to go below the rubber bottom. Dat failed too. I may need to abandon this recoil pad and buy a new one. That'll require shaping of the rubber etc. Too much work. But ... see below. Here's an idea i came up today for a new pad installation: Get long screws, about 3/4" longer than the thickness of the recoil pad. Say the pad is 1" thick. After drilling two holes thru the glued pad and wooden buttsock 1 3/4" deep holes, use a screw driver to drive the two 1 3/4"L screws into the assembly. Let the head of the screws exposed off the outside surface of the pad. In this way, the screw heads are easily seen and accessed and can be pulled out all the way. No more hidden screw heads that kant b taken out of the rubber. The shinny screw heads may not look good but so what? And it won't hurt ur shoulder either. So, when u need to access that long stock bolt to detach the buttstock off the receiver, no more wondering which screw driver to use, philip or flat type. And no more stripping of the hidden screw heads as my previous gun owner had done. There's always a change u'll need to remove the recoil pad.
@@schutendohkji548 Yeah buddy, that's what I do! Get 8 or 9 2" construction screws and put a row around the perimeter of the pad. Screw them in just to flush with the surface, I like the gold colored ones to match the trigger color.
OK guys. Thx 4 trying 2 help. What i didn't mention is unlike this video's old buttstock pad, mine is glued shut against the wood along w the plastic black plate. So the holding scrw doesn't show up at the joint. What i did was i tried very hard to grab the scrw head w the scrwdrvr at an angle n tried to back out of the rubber. Butto datto failed too so i just had to destroy the entire rubber pad, cutting n shaving it off. What a mess n stoiped effort dattto was! So, w the new pad, i used a stronger and bigger pan head (#12) philip sheet metal screw after i countersunk the rubber to expose the screw head flushed w the rubber surface for EZ access. I never use slotted head screws. They strip EZ. Allen head or Torque screws r better. They don't strip or slip off, can keep it on the tip of ur tool as u screw in/out. This practice of hiding the head or have it deeply embedded into the rubber should b stopped. Always, always dink bout maintenance/servicing for removal. So stoiped by the gun makers or a prior gunschmidt to whom the latter s/b, if this video and my gun was done by such professional.

Put pressure against the screw tips with a block of wood or something equivalent and continue to unscrew until the heads pop through the rubber.
