Lightest 1" pad
#1
Replacing the pad on a Stockys CF mini stock. Trying to keep it as light as possible, but need the length more. Anyone have experience down this road? I have a few brand options here to check weight of and try to compare material density but thought I would ask here first. All will be grind to fit, so no good comparison of post grind weight at the moment and dont want to fit a bunch just to find out and only use one. I have also read about guys making a pad from flip flop foam or similar but have not done it. Any experience or ideas for a 1" or longer piece of foam appropriate for this application?

I use smoke composite stocks. They have a butt pad as an add on. Not sure if it can be used with your stock but maybe worth a call to see.

Why not add a skeltonized kydex spacer?

Looks like they make some nice light weight/carbon fiber AR stuff. I didn't see a pad that would work for a bolt gun stock on their sight. Did I miss it?

That sounds interesting, but I'm having trouble visualizing it on the stock. Got any pictures?

Pretty sure those wont fit. Looks like the Stockys CF stock is finished in the same shape/size as the Blazer R8, so I pretty much stuck with GTF pads or the flip flop/foam style pad.

Anyone done one with a thicker foam? Or a 1” or thicker foam source?

That is why I suggested making your own out of kydex, that was just the example I referenced when asked

1/2" kydex/plastic is $21 on Amazon and 12" squared, can make quite a few spacers
