Re: Looking for an easy Loading Pad DIY

I had the same problem loading my gun its a 90. I tried the hip loading and couldn't load it. So i ordered another shaft with a cheater tab on it. Now i can hip load it up to the cheater tab and then put it up to my chest to finish loading it. And it doesn't hurt so much now. Also did it to my 120.

I'm too cheap to even buy a rash guard, I just wear a long sleeve Under Armour.

Re: Looking for an easy Loading Pad DIY

i cut two peices of a flip flop, gorilla glue them together, and gorilla glue them onto the end, i get 1.5" of soft fluffy padding.... i use a belt sander to shape it to match the gun... 80 grit.

Rob Allen sells a chest loading pad too.

Saw one in a dive shop yesterday.

Re: Looking for an easy Loading Pad DIY

I find orphan flipflops on the beach frequently and throw them in a drawer. I'm forever fixing my friend's guns, and have epoxied on pieces of flipflop many times. It's actually a perfect loading butt for your gun.
