I have a nice older gun with an original stock and beautifully inlet steel butt plate. I need 1" of additional LOP and do not desire to disturb the butt end with a permanent leather covered pad. Therefore, I seek a lace-up or, preferably, Velcro closure type leather slip-on type pad. I have a 1/2" model already, but it is insufficient. Any ideas or a referral to a custom purveyor?

Hi, a very nice leather one can be found on Ebay for about $17.00 or less. (make an offer) Search Tourbon recoil pad. They make both a medium and large size. You will not find a better quality at any price. No Velcro connection to catch on your clothes during the mount. They come with several internal removable pads so you can adjust the LOP. Yeah, I know, made in China, but very nice quality.

It may not be a concern for you, Owen, but as a heavy user of leather pads, for the same reason as you, I have never been able to wear out, or even damage a KickKiller pad. They're very well made. I have a box full of them, and have them dedicated to certain guns. FWIW, I have worn out another brand, to frazzles. It was a Brauer, AIR. I know the lace-ons are a bit slower to put on and take off (and I don't leave them on) but to me they look better on a 100 year old gun than velcro.
Best, SRH

Gentlemen, Thank you for the suggestions. I am on a quest for a model offering a 1" extension. There are many options in the 1/2" category, but in this instance, I am seeking a full 1" extension slip-on. tourbon, kickkiller, and Galco do not seem to offer the desired length.

Possibly you missed it but you can add a half inch foam piece that you cut yourself into these slip on pads and get whatever LOP you need.
So many guns, so little time!

There are many options in the 1/2" category, but in this instance, I am seeking a full 1" extension slip-on. tourbon, kickkiller, and Galco do not seem to offer the desired length. KickKillers have an Akton pad cemented inside. You can buy the Akton in sheets and cut your own, and add another 1/2" or so. I do not think you will find a ready made leather recoil pad that offers a 1" increased pull. Maybe someone will make you a bespoke pad............... but it will be made exactly like you will get if you add the additional thickness yourself. SRH

OK, thanks. I am not particularly handy and was hoping for a 1" retail purchase solution, but it appears that none exists. The only answer appears to be making a cobbled-together pad. In looking at my candidates for internal pad extension, one problem is that the leather taper begins immediately after the 1/2" pad ends, making a second 1/2" addition of shock-absorbing material awkward. Any ideas for a custom leather pad-smith?
