Need to replace the recoil pad on an older Weatherby stock. Pulled out the 2 screws only to find the pad is still attached very well.
The stock is in the process of being refinished, so the lacquer has been stripped off and is no longer holding pad and stock together.
I read a forum inside LRH about this issue, only it was on a B&C synthetic. Solution was to freeze the stock for 24 hours then separate with wide chisel. Since this stock is Walnut, I'm not too fond of the freezer idea.
Any proven methods from past experiences?
