Overview
This fitting jig is designed to help you complete recoil pad installation without bringing sanding tools into contact with the stock finish. It supports off-stock pad dressing, which is useful when you want a clean final fit after the stock has already been cut to length and pitch. The setup includes an adjustable triangle for mounting the pad and a universal support that attaches to the sanding disc table, with instructions included. For shops and serious gun owners handling pad work, it offers a controlled way to reduce the chance of accidental stock damage during the final fitting stage.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires a sanding disc table for use, so it is a shop tool rather than a standalone fitting solution.
- The jig is designed for final pad dressing off the stock, which helps protect the finish but adds an extra setup step before installation.
- Best suited to recoil pad fitting work; it is specialized equipment rather than a general-purpose gunsmithing jig.
- Includes instructions, but proper use still depends on accurate stock cutting, scribing, and fitting steps before the pad is dressed.
