The Pachmayr 752B Old English Recoil Pad (Small, 0.8" Thickness, Black) is a grind-to-fit stock accessory designed to absorb peak firearm recoil while maintaining a classic aesthetic. Featuring a rounded edge profile and a leather-textured face, this pad facilitates smooth, snag-free firearm mounting without catching on clothing. Built with an internal skeletonised rubber core bonded to a solid black polymer base, it provides dampening across standard shotgun and sporting rifle platforms while maintaining a moderate profile that limits changes to length of pull.

Key Features

• Snag-Free Face Profile: Contoured skeet-style rounded edges combined with an Old English leather-look texture eliminate clothing drag during rapid shoulder mounting.
• Internal Ribbed Cushioning: Recoil-absorbing rubber core engineered to soften peak recoil impulse without adding excessive mass to the stock.
• Grind-to-Fit Construction: Solid black polymer base allows precise sanding and shaping to match the exact profile of finished gunstocks.
• Low-Profile Geometry: Pad thickness of 0.80 inches (approximately 20.3 mm) preserves firearm balance and minimizes length-of-pull alterations compared to thicker 1.00-inch alternatives.

Who is the Pachmayr 752B Old English Recoil Pad Small 0.8" Black for?

• Upland bird hunters using classic sporting rifles and shotguns — requires a traditional leather-textured aesthetic combined with a 0.80-inch thickness that prevents snagging on field jackets while cushioning standard field loads.
• Sporting clays and skeet shooters performing custom stock modifications — provides a grind-to-fit shotgun recoil pad with unshaped base dimensions of 5.30 inches in length and 1.68 inches in width to shape precisely flush against compact competition stocks.

Less suitable for: Gunstocks with buttstock profiles exceeding 5.30 inches in length or 1.68 inches in width, or heavy magnum-class cartridges requiring maximum energy absorption; these applications are better served by larger medium/large dimension pads or thicker 1.00-inch heavy-recoil pads.
