I recently got an RWS 34. It comes with a plastic but plate. Well when I cock the gun. I either put the butt stock between my legs resting on my stool or I put the butt of the gun on my thigh. With the plastic but plate. The gun would slip around making it difficult to hold when cocking. So, I purchased a rubber recoil pad. This will give the butt some grip.
Original butt plate and new recoil pad
Here I’ve laid out the center line and I am able to use the top existing hole. So I’ll only need to drill the bottom hole.
.
Here you can see how oversized the new pad is. The tape is just a security blanket. It really does not provide much protection. But if / when you sand the tape. You’d better change your angle.
I’m using a drum sander. The trick is to look at the stock. Not the recoil pad. Keeping the stock parallel with the sander face.
