The Pachmayr D752B Decelerator Old English Recoil Pad (MPN 01402) is a gunsmith-grade, grind-to-fit pad designed to attenuate peak felt recoil and adjust length-of-pull on long guns. Manufactured from Pachmayr’s proprietary Decelerator rubber blend, it features a classic leather-look stippled brown face with a contrasting black base, preserving traditional aesthetics on fine wood stocks. With a 1.00-inch (25.4 mm) thickness, it delivers maximum shock absorption for moderate-to-heavy recoil firearms while utilising rounded, skeet-style edges to facilitate snag-free shoulder mounting.

Key Features

• Decelerator Rubber Blend: Absorbs felt peak recoil and shoulder shock through a super-soft proprietary rubber formulation combined with a bottom core skeletonised structure.
• Old English Styling: Stippled leather-texture face in brown set on a solid black plastic mounting base complements classic side-by-side, under-and-over, and sporting rifle wood stocks.
• Skeet-Style Contoured Edges: Rounded profile prevents clothing hang-ups during quick gun mounts in sporting clays or field shooting.
• Grind-to-Fit Design: Solid plastic base and oversized rubber blank allow custom shaping to match the exact profile of flat-butt firearm stocks.

Who is the Pachmayr D752B Decelerator Old English 1-Inch Recoil Pad for?

• Gunsmiths retrofitting classic wood stocks — Requires an oversized 5.75-inch by 1.92-inch (146 mm × 48.8 mm) grind-to-fit rifle recoil pad blank with an internal insert width of 1.575 inches (40 mm) to profile flush against flat-butt timber stocks while correcting length-of-pull.
• High-volume clay target and sporting clays shooters — Benefits from the maximum 1.00-inch (25.4 mm) thickness Decelerator core to cushion repetitive shoulder impact across extended shooting sessions with 12-gauge loads.
• Centrefire rifle and upland bird hunters — Relies on the 1.00-inch (25.4 mm) recoil pad to tame heavy centrefire recoil while the rounded skeet-style edges allow fast, snag-free mounting against hunting jackets.

Less suitable for: Firearm stocks with butt profiles narrower than 5.30 inches long by 1.68 inches wide (which risk exposing the internal insert and require Small or Medium blank variants), or low-recoil platforms where shooters wish to minimise added length-of-pull using a thinner 0.6-inch or 0.8-inch recoil pad.
