[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1226769, member: 50867"] Sometimes heat will work. But it can be a bit tricky, is very time consuming and doesn't alway produce the results you want. Carefully cutting the pad off very close to the stock, scraping carefully down to the pad/butt union and applying a solvent (lacquer thinner, or anything that is a suitable solvent for the type of glue used) - make sure it's out of doors and a long way from any heat source - can sometimes loosen them up. Sometimes pads that are mounted with screws have the screws concealed under the pad's surface (pad expands to install them and shrinks back over them) so be sure to look carefully at how its mounted. When push comes to shove, trimming the stock ever so slightly and taking a tiny bit of wood may be your only alternative. [/QUOTE]
