Rubber/Plastic for Arsenal AK Buttplate???

Recently, I purchased an Arsenal AK-47. It is the SGL-21 model with fixed stock to exact. The rifle is hands down the best AK variant I have ever handled . However, there are two things that I don't just love about it. The first thing is the skinny standard AK pistol grip. This was easily remedied by changing it for a US PALM Battle Grip. It's a little funky looking but very ergonomic. (I recommend it for anyone with an AK.)

The second thing is the metal buttplate on the stock. I find it very slippery and would like to replace it with either a rubber or plastic one. However, I absolutely do NOT want to change the entire stock or change the length of pull (and make the gun look crappy) with a cheap slip-on style buttpad. All of the other ones I have found are either made for Commie folding stocks or have the screw holes in a slightly different position. Very frustrating!

So, does anyone know of a rubber or plastic buttplate THAT FITS THE ARSENAL AKs standard stock?

At this point, I am about to just add some grip tape to the thing. Thanks for any help and especially if you can provide a link.
 
I'm thinking about one of those slip one pads, but that may increase the LOP, and it may be pretty hard to find one small enough to fit the AK stock.

Could you cut a small piece of leather and mount it somehow. Sorry, it's been a long time since I handled my buddies Arsenal, if I remember right, the butt plate is screwed into the stock?

Or remove the plate and spray it with textured spray paint or bed liner?
