[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 2598620, member: 6777"] First no 2 stocks are the same. So the parts don't interchange. Do the screws come close to lining up with the holes? On the old "horn" Browning plates, we used to soak in hot water to soften. Then gently screw it into place with surgical tubing forcing the bend in the middle. this can also be accomplished with the tubing and leaving the stock out in the hot sun for several hours occasionally checking and tightening the screws and tubing as it bends to fit. after cooling scribe a line around the plate. take it off and grind or file or sand to the line. If there's not a lot to remove you can do it on the stock by putting a couple layers of masking tape around the stock so you don't nick the stock and trim with a fine cut file. This information is for a buttplate and NOT for a recoil pad! Recoil pads you cut the stock to length, sand square and install on the flat surface. [/QUOTE]
