I rebuilt the trim unit on my boat a couple of years ago as it sprung a leak. It worked great until Tuesday. It would raise the motor but not hold it. I was about to tear it back down when I decided to check YouTube. Sure enough, a guy on there with a short and concise video had already ran into this. All I had to do was pull out a screw and replace an o-ring. He sure made for a more enjoyable weekend. I’m tempted to get his address and send him some money.

See if Stoeger offers a replacement stock for that youth model and if it will fit your gun. I'm assuming there's a penalty for using a 20ga instead of 12 in competition. Cutting down the stock and fitting a recoil pad isn't hard to do.

The Mark IV's are really nice guns. I purchased both the Hunter, as well as the Bill Ruger Limited Edition Competition Model that came with the matching knife.

Hi all. I just got back from watching the movie. In one word...fantastic! It was beyond incredible how they restored and enhanced original footage filmed in 1943 by William Wyler (who flew five combat missions to Germany himself,) then integrated that with personal interviews and recollections of the men who actually flew the missions. One of the center-lines of the documentary was the Memphis Belle and her crew. I highly recommend this movie and hope you all have the opportunity to see it. Ed

Also the greatest for making you(me) waste time watching useless videos for hours on end. lol

A nicer pair! Love the slabside!!

Nice!

Thought this was about Hillary, saw the word satan and that is what popped into my head.

It’s. Middle school now

Yeah, it’s typical for a replacement pad to be put on a drum sander for fit. But, I expect it’s going to take more than a half inch or so to really make it fit. A coach gun is going to have quite a bit of recoil - hence the thicker pad. It might be worth having the stock shortened up a bit and then having the recoil pad reinstalled. All that’s assuming you can get it to fit your frame. As mentioned above, it might be worth looking at a youth shotgun for a better fit.

While I’ve never done it, chopping a stock and installing a new recoil pad is fairly common for shotguns. Many of the available recoil pads are designed to be ground down (on the sides) to fit flush with the stock.. Check MidwayUSA to see what they offer for pads.

If you can't find something at this link, give them a call and see what they suggest. https://kickeezproducts.com/recoil-pads/all-purpose-recoil-pad/

Admit it, you would have the same look on your face. ...

Look for a youth stock. For reasons only they understand, shotguns tend to have a longer length of pull than a typical rifle. Adding a recoil pad makes them ridiculously long for us normal sized people.

I've used a few of the Cold Steel throwing implements over the years and I found them to be good quality for the price. I had one of their three knife sets, a couple of their throwing stars, and one of the cheap tomahawks. I honestly suck at throwing so these things got beat to hell but they held up well to the abuse. I eventually broke the handle on the tomahawk but they have reasonably priced replacements. I will caveat by saying that although I think they have quality products I got rid of every Cold Steel product I owner after interacting with their owner/spokesperson at SHOT a few years back. The guy was such an arrogant/pompous jerk that I wanted nothing to do with the company after that. They also had a video compilation playing at their booth of said spokesperson massacring deer and antelope with a rifle, not hunting, I mean mowing down whole herds. It was weird. I have owned a few SOG products that performed fairly well, but have never tried any of their throwing tools.

I think you should make some knives out of those scooters they're fixing to ban

Sometimes you just can't fix stupid and leaving a gun in an unsecured vehicle in open sight is about as stupid as it gets. I have a policy of when I get in my vehicle my gun gets in and when I get out my gun gets out bar none. I have pretty much figured out where I can go and do or go and get everything in life I want to do without having to remove my gun concealed on my hip. In the event I was forced to go somewhere I had to leave my gun it would be locked in my glove box in a locked vehicle with the car alarm set. It is much better to take an extra 5 minutes securing your gun than to have an incident like the boy shooting his mother or someone else.........JMHO

Leaving a firearm unsecured in a vehicle is just stupid regardless...I have a friend of mine that has had 3 guns stolen out of his truck because he is too lazy to remove them or lock it up...he got one back 2 years later but the other 2 were stolen before he even got to shoot them....luckily for him he makes plenty of money but that doesn't excuse his stupidity or lack of learning.

Was not really the plan, never did get the shotgun!
