AIM Sports Mosin Nagant 1-Inch Extended Recoil Buttpad

I have come to call my mosin nagant “The shoulder buster” and for good reason. Usually 20 rounds leaves me black and blue for a week after shooting it so I knew I needed some padding.First off the install was a breeze, 2 screws and your done. The instructions made me laugh a bit when it suggested using my hands to bend the rubber butt pad. This thing is pretty thick and solid rubber there’s no way I could bend it any noticeable amount. I did place one end on the floor and used some leverage to bend it just enough.I haven’t been able to shoot with it yet so I can’t comment on the actual main function. It does add length and feels a little more comfortable holding it now.The butt pad fit pretty well on my rifle, it certainly isn’t 100% though. Knowing how old and how quick they must have pumped these rifles out they are all not going to be a direct copy of each other. The small differences across these rifles would make it impossible to get a perfect match for an add on part. That being said the fitment issues are very minor and could be solved by sanding or trimming the rubber pad a little bit. The fitment wasn’t enough for me to knock a star off however, that’s how minor it is.
