Pachmayer pre-fit recoil pad for my Marlin 45-70.Never did see why that hard kicker had a wimpy 1/2 inch pad. The direction say to drill new holes with an included drill and use plastic anchors? Looks like the holes line up ,thick I'll just see if the factory screws work.
Hope every one has a great Christmas...

Brother and his wife are both excellent cooks , grub was great ..

A Christmas dinner consisting of my favorite style of enchiladas (her gift to me).
I helped cook 'em, and cleaned up the kitchen (my gift to her).
We also swapped pies, breads, cupcakes, pickles, and salsa with all of the neighbors.

I got the bucks together to buy my first Group Buy mold a 5 banger 7mm.
Also got a Navmav car GPS and had great day with the kids being home from various locations. Weather hot as hell, turkey on the webber and the ham on the gas BBQ food was great as usual.
I got a new wallet (old one was fallingg apart), a Leatherman Mulit-Tool, and enough unhealthy food to block another artery (my girly is a GOOOOD cook).
WHEN IN DOUBT, USE MORE CLOUT!

I got a 2010 gun digest from the wife and a great meal, but the best was watching my 5 year old grandson open gifts. I set back and thought about all my friends and family that have passed ,and all the pass Xmas I have had in my 55 years.
I got a Model 10 Ross .303 that was made in 1914, according to the date stamped in the stock.
uh, I dunno! it left here alright.

Nothing for xmas this yr. Economy and my wifes job loss put a hamper on everything. But I did manage to get her up north to see her family for 5 days now. Guess you could say that was my Christmas present to her.
