Perfect for my needs

This helps to make grinding a recoil pad so much more easy! If you are using a overly thick pad , you will need to get longer screws ( Home Depot had what I needed for cheap! ) . This took a lot of guess work out and made it much easer to complete my job!

Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

GraCoil Universal Fitting Fixture

Easy to use tool to fit your recoil pad to your stock. After you've scribed the flat surface of the recoil pad by tracing the end of your stock... Simply adjust the width of the two retaining posts to the exact width of the holes in your recoil pad. Place the pad face down on the fixture, tighten the wing nuts to secure the pad for grinding. Carefully grind the pad to the scribed line. To profile the toe of the pad, simply adjust the angle of the fixture to duplicate the stock profile. The tool is easy to use, very effective ,efficient and makes a nice finished product.

Best yet

Very easy to use. The best I have used in my shop so far.

Best in Show

I have owned several of these jig through the years and they all were made by other manufacturers. This is by far the best one I have ever seen and is so rugged that it will probably be the last one I will ever need to buy. The instructions that come with it are weak, but if you are a gunsmith you know how to install a recoil pad already.

Want a professional looking pad?

This fixture is terrific. Having no experience fitting new recoil pads to my shotguns, I was able to get a factory look to my pads. The very FIRST time. Simple instructions, and a simple jig made it possible for me, with little mechanical skills, to get it right.
