[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 214739, member: 7449"] Easiest way is to saw the thing off. That's what I do. Just cut off the rubber with a hacksaw and then (hopefully you have access to one) use a milling machine and chew on through to the stock material. Don't try to mill the rubber. Won't work worth a ****. I always glue new pads on. Just scuff the stock, ensure there's no grease/oil, and sand the back of the pad as well. Some 10-15 minute epoxy works great. Then belt sand to match the stock. A little lemon juice on a sanding block cleans up the gummies real nice so that it doesn't look like it was done in a 3rd world sweat shop. Belt sanding the pad to match the stock is the tricky part. The trick is to always keep the stock moving. a belt sander removes material in a hurry and you'll end up with facets and low spots if you try to hog one particular spot down. Just plan on being there about 15 minutes before it starts to look right. Take your time and inspect often. Good luck buddy. [/QUOTE]
