The Pachmayr 752B Old English Recoil Pad Large 1" Black (MPN: 01601) is a grind-to-fit firearm accessory engineered to reduce felt recoil shock on shotguns and rifles. Featuring Pachmayr's internal skeletonized bottom-core configuration, this pad absorbs heavy recoil energy while maintaining structural stability. The exterior is finished with a traditional leather-grain face texture, a solid black base without a white line spacer, and rounded Skeet-style edges designed to ensure smooth, snag-free mounting against clothing during rapid target acquisition. Fitting is achieved through a standard screw-mounted stock interface followed by custom grinding to match individual buttstock profiles.

Key Features

• Recoil Shock Absorption: Employs an internal skeletonized bottom core that disperses the energy generated by standard shotgun gauges through heavy magnum rifle calibres.

• Classic Aesthetic: Styled with a fine leather-grain face texture and a solid black base, preserving the vintage look of traditional wood and composite stocks.

Who is the Pachmayr 752B Old English Recoil Pad Large 1" Black for?

• Upland game hunters — Requires a snag-free rifle recoil pad with a 1.00 inch thickness and rounded edges to mount classic field shotguns or bolt-action rifles smoothly against hunting jackets.
• Sporting clays and skeet shooters — Needs a classic leather-faced pad with a 5.75 inches long by 1.92 inches wide pre-ground surface that can be custom-ground to match traditional wooden competition buttstocks.
• Reloaders and gunsmiths — Requires an 8 oz grind-to-fit recoil pad capable of absorbing the heavy energy of safari calibres such as .416 Rigby and .500 Nitro Express without compromising stock lines.

Less suitable for: Oversized custom firearm buttstocks with dimensions exceeding 5.75 inches long by 1.92 inches wide, or smaller buttstocks under 5.30 inches by 1.68 inches which risk grinding through the internal core (requiring a smaller pre-ground recoil pad size).
