New pad for a 100 year old SxS

Its a NOS pad but not vented/ribbed like the old original one, but it was brittle and crumbling. I'm going to shoot a little trap with it.

Looks good, what gun did you replace the pad on?

After all things wear out and need replacing.

Very cool!

IF you want to get one like the original, you might look at Tony Galazan's Connecticut Shotgun, as he carries reproductions for many older models
