    Hi all, Went to the gun show this morning a picked up a user grade Twenty. Has a recoil pad. Pulled the pad off as I always do (to check for old licenses and such) . The hollowed out cavity has a wood plug made in the shape of the hole. Has anyone else seen this before?

    I’ve never seen that and I’ve had a lot of stocks go through my hands

    Sounds hollow underneath. Might try to chisel it out

    Maybe it was added when the pad was installed so they had something to screw the pad onto?

    No holes in the plug. I can’t upload a pic for some reason

    I agree never seen anything like that. Do you know why you can't post pic's? What are you using to try and post? If you need help, I might be able to walk you through it. Just let me know.

    That doesn’t appear to be factory. Chisel that out of there

    Can you weigh it, and find a similar stock without the plug, and weight that one? Compare. Possibly a metal weight was place inside? I ain't never seen nuthin" like that.

    Got the plug out of the stock. It was just about 1/2” thick and glued in. Nothing inside. I don’t know what it could have possibly been for.

    Yep it has got you too. I seen your deleted test.I figured that was it. I know there is an update for the website. I was warned last week, but didn’t think it would cause problems.
