Title: Recoil pad for 870 youth EXPRESS
Post by: Arkansawyer on December 29, 2011, 10:52:34 AM
I've looked online, and I can find recoil pads for 20g 870 youth non-Express.  However, I cannot find anything for an Express model.
Has anyone run into this issue and found a pre-fit recoil pad that will fit, or am I going to have to try a grind-to-fit?

Search for the Pachmayr # 01705 prefit Decelerator Pad and see if it is what you need.

Good Luck!

Thanks for your help, but that looks like it's for a regular 870, and this one's a youth model.

I may have to try that.

I dont really have the tools to do the grind-to-fit, but my FIL does.  I probably should just grab the slip on and call it good or I'll never get it done!

Check Limbsaver.  I got a few from them for synthetic youth 20's that I put right on and they lengthen the pull about 1/2"
