Have just inherited some bits n pieces which includes a David Nickerson marked, slip on kickpad - looks like a gel type material ?
Any comments / experience ? Thought it might work ok on my 1886 rifle.
Thanks

i use kick killer lace-on leather butt pads with akton gel inserts for all bpcr guns. keeps the bad shoulder quite happy.
You know i never considered one of these. Think i will pick one up as i have a couple rifles that i leave at home because of my shoulder.
i can attest to and endorse the kick killer. i have a "frozen shoulder syndrome" for my trigger hand shoulder that almost stopped me from shooting long arms. with the kick killer pad i can fire off 80 or more full house .45-70 PPB cartridges in one range visit with absolutely no shoulder issues. that's 83 grains of 1-1/2f black powder under a 523 grain slick.
I have a slip on pad for my rifles also, I believe its a sorbothane pad in it. My only real drawback with the slip on pads and shoulder pads is they increase length of pull 1/2"-1 1/2" depending on the pad. But on the 12 1/2 lb 45-90 with 550 grn bullets that pad is a big help
I use a MidwayUSA shoulder pad that straps on (to me, not the gun), the one for magnum rifles. I've shot full-house hot handloads in both 7mm Rem. mag and .45/70 Gov't and highly recommend it. Anytime I can shoot 40+ rounds of hot loads and not be black and blue the next day is a testament to a good product.
EDIT: pad was purchased from Midway, but made by PAST Products
