I just installed an oversize pad on my L C Smith that I bought from Galazans which they maintain is the proper one for a Smith. I believe they have these in either 1" or 1 1/2" thicknesses. I installed the 1 1/2" one to correct the poorly ended out stock on my gun. I would agree that grinding down a pad this thick and getting it right is a real challenge. Good luck.
