I feel I need to start off with a bit of background about this project. If you’re not interested, please skip to the next paragraph, that’s where I get into the specifics about each Adapter Plate. So, what led me here was the desire to eliminate how the OEM buttpad stuck up above the rifle. As you’ll notice in the pics, I shoot with the cheek riser at the lowest position and I had that OEM buttpad right there behind my ear which isn’t so bad when I’m shooting suppressed but when there are times I need to wear earpro, it’s a major PITA. I found out SAC had produced a fully adjustable butt pad assembly and that would’ve worked great for me but they don’t seem super motivated to make them again, it might happen but who knows when that will be? A buddy of mine buys a really nice 3D printer, he’s super successful with what he’s doing and it makes me think. I’ll just model one of the Desert Tech spacers and refine it in such a way that I can add a recoil pad. I looked at my AI Target butt stock and as simple as that is I just feel it’s too much and settle on making it a FIXED recoil pad adapter. Once I see my buddies 3D printed part works on both my A1 and A2 chassis, I notice that the one Pachmayr recoil pad has a pretty solid bottom plate in which an additional hole could be drilled. I then make another model with one long slotted hole and now I have an ADJUSTABLE recoil pad adapter. I understand it’s not as sophisticated as your typical target adjustable butt pads but hey, it gets you some vertical adjustment and will rotate. If I were some machine shop owner, I’d have something truly great designed but all I have right now is the design software….I rely on my buddy for quick prototypes and then rely on another company for the finished product.
Some of you may have seen this in the OFFICIAL (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread….I put this there hoping to get some good feedback. I got some, not as much as I had hoped so I’m starting this thread to show off my Custom Desert Tech Butt Pad Adapter. The hope is to generate enough interest to submit an order….IF interested in this, PM me for pricing and details on sending me a deposit.
PLEASE NOTE: The pictures and description below is of Pachmayr Recoil Pads that you will need to purchase separately.

New pics, thought maybe it best to show what the recoil pad would look like in Black. I thought the Brown would look good since my rifle is FDE but now that I see it, I think I like BLACK BEST. Also, I am more than willing to submit another order but I will tell you that I would like to get as many people on board, it helps with a slight price break....
The pics below are of the Pachmayr F250 pad. It is small, meaning it's not very long and not very thick. You can see how it compares to the F325 that is LARGE. Also, something to note, this pad came with a white line in it, I didn't care for that so I used a Black Sharpie....I think it turned out OK???
