There are good quality 1 1/2" pads out there. CSMC has one--Winchester red. There are probably more. I did a leather covered 1 1/2" pad just because it's a Winchester 21 that was too short for me. This one was special because if belonged to my grandfather, has a really good piece of wood and I wanted to keep it as original as possible. I may restock it some day but I doubt it. gil
