Can't order a Regal XL butt pad from Daystate! Are they serious?!?!

I damaged a new Regal but pad while trying to install a metal sling mount (the nice one seen on eBay, except it's not a perfect match). I contacted Daystate and asked how I could purchase a replacement pad, and was pretty miffed at their response:


Hello,

I am sorry but we do not have any spare butt pads available.
The stock and butt pad come to us as a complete unit.

The only Butt pads that we have available are the rubber ones (as used on the Air Wolf), while you are welcome to purchase one please note that as they were not made for the regal they would need to filed down in order to fit, and in all honesty do not look fantastic when filed down.

You may be able to source one online second had somewhere.

And my response:

Now that's just not acceptable! 

How hard is it for you to ask of your source to please provide an additional butt pad? I've invested a considerable sum into Daystate products and would be GREATLY disappointed if you could not, at the very least, check with your source. 

It should be very easy for you to do this!
 
Completely unacceptable on any level. Agreed.....then ask your source for an additional butt pad. I realize it may take awhile before it gets to your hands......but come on.
On a side note.....even a butt pad from their source would not be a perfect fit as I believe it is sanded with the stock. There woukd still be some hand sanding and finishing to be done.
 
"DellaDog"Yep, my sentiments exactly. In fact here was my follow up request:

Could Daystate possibly provide contact information for their stock source? Perhaps I can order a $5 piece of rubber from them instead of spending $350 plus for a complete stock.
I doubt their source is willing to send you one item worth 5$. Maybe if you buy 500 and daystate sanctions it.
