That gun (and the wood chair it's positioned on), looks so similar to one I had and sold a couple years ago, I had to check the serial numbers. Can't answer your question about Wilkes. I really liked a lot about mine but the stock was short and I had enough projects on the go.....I knew it would be a long time before I addressed the 13" stock. It had heel and toe plates so in my mind, a pad was not an option.

Mine was serial #6616
