Pachmayr .4'' Medium Black Basketweave Face

The Pachmayr .4" Medium Black Basketweave Face is a replacement recoil pad designed to reduce felt recoil and improve gun handling during shooting. This is the face component of Pachmayr's time-tested recoil pad system—a go-to choice for hunters, precision shooters, and gunsmiths who want to customize the fit and feel of their rifle stocks. The basketweave texture provides a classic appearance that works well on rifles destined for serious field work or competition use.

Pachmayr pads work by using internal ribbing that gradually absorbs impact energy rather than transferring sharp recoil directly to your shoulder. The non-slip surface keeps the gun butt stable against your shoulder, reducing creep and improving consistency shot to shot. Since this is the face—the part that contacts your shoulder—choosing the right texture and material thickness matters for both comfort and function.

The .4" medium thickness and basketweave finish are engineered for general rifle applications and custom gunsmith work. The pad is made from high-grade rubber that can be carefully fitted to your specific stock through grinding or sanding, allowing gunsmiths and serious DIY enthusiasts to dial in a professional result. The screw hole spacing and toe taper are designed for compatibility across a range of common rifle stocks, though always verify your specific gun's pad dimensions before ordering.
