I need some tacticool stock tape!

[Artful]

check out Chinamart or Amazon for fabric type that wraps around and held by velcro

Mole foam is the stuff of legend between myself and an old college friend who have a penchant for hiking extremely long distances in rough country. It's the only thing I've found that prevents heel blisters on long uphills, no matter how well your footwear fits.

That would solve the cheekrest issue just fine, but not the fore-end or stock toe. I haven't worked out exactly what to do with that, perhaps just some heavy, vinyl tape.

Something very slick on the forearm and toe. I think you want something that won't grab or bind even when humidity is up and Lord knows you get humidity.

I just seen this thread.

Gear, what you are looking for is "mastic tape pads"

I don't have any right now, but I've used it many times in the last 20 years, while building industrial control panels, where I need to isolate high current/high voltage from the metal sub-panel, to meet UL specs if the distance is within 0.500"
This stuff is basically thick electrical tape panels.

3M makes an anti abrasion tape for aircraft use. I had a roll that was 2" wide and clear and I mean very clear! I have used it on the inside of rocker panels so they dont get scratched up by feet getting in and out. It's tough stuff, sorry no link and no info on the cost .

Sinclair sells stock tape for just that purpose.

Big +1, teflon or such if I remember right.

I've used the mastic pads before in automotive applications, it's used to cover holes in body panels such as inside doors or floorboards. The kind I'm used to has a clear outer layer and is like stiff, rubbery tar. It's stretchy and mouldable. I might also have some in my toolbox.......

The Teflon BR pads is pretty much what I had in mind from the beginning, but I might also need something a little more cushy to cover up the stippling on the finish.

Other than the fact it isn't reversible is there a reason you couldn't mark the areas you want smoothed on forearm and toe and just coat with some epoxy then smooth it out? Sand it smoother when hardened then use tape.

Gear, it sounds like maybe a combination of the above suggestions might work for your forend. How about a wrap of moleskin covered by a wrap of one of the recommended slick films? Maybe this would also prevent a transfer of adhesive to your stock, which would surely happen on hot days.
