I need a butt pad for a Glenfield 30

[Dwayne TX]

Any suggestions?  The best match from Marlin is way too wide and tall.  I could grind to fit, but not my first choice.  This is the solid rubber pad, not the plastic plate.

I made a new buttplate for my Glenfield 30.

Dwayne, a thin red rubber pad looks good on a marlin and is easy to fit. Of course not orgional but makes a nice replacement.

That's what I was expecting to get from Marlin, but the one they sent is huge.  It's supposed to fit everything in the 336 family, which laid side by side, my 30 is a dead ringer for a newer 336.

You can grind it down with a belt sander or by one at a sporting goods store that is not so large. It needs to be a little oversize to match the stock angles as you grind it down. I screw it on the but of the removed stock. Put one layer of ducktape around the stock and begin freehand sanding it down on a belt sander. You need a steady hand if you slip you'll nick the stock. when you get it down to the tape just litely finish it up for a smooth line between stock & butpad.

Most pros put it on the butt, screw it down, mark it around the circumfirence of the stock, take it off screw it on a jig ( just a piece of 2x4 will work) you just need something to hold onto. Grind it down to your line remembering to follow thw angle of the tip of the stock. Screw it back on the stock as it gets close to check for fit.

I don't believe the Glenfield 30 ever had a rubber pad from the factory.

The Glenfield stocks are a lot slimmer than the 336's.  That's why it won't fit.
