i was looking at a butt plate/pad for a k 31 bullpup i am making. i hadnt thought about this point until today and it is going to be finished very soon so this dilemma needs resolved.
i wasnt sure about what to use and was thinking of using a spare plate i had for a winchester 94 pre 64 the steel butt plate. would this be sufficient to keep the recoil from checking the butt of the rifle? and if it is how easy is it to find a synthetic recoil pad, pachmyre, limb saver etc. to fit that thin of a stock?
is the k31 to much gun for that narrow of a butt plate? it is very similar to a .308, while the win 94 is a 30-30. im very new to firearms and am not familiar with the ballistics more than being able to hit a deer at 100yrds with both.
also i am using unlaminated soft maple on this one.
