Buy recommendations Winchester 1892 recoil pad
I have a new production Winchester 1892 in .357Mag. It has the classic crescent buttplate style, which I find to be very uncomfortable to shoot because of the pointy ends. I'm looking for a rubber recoil pad like the limbsaver ones, I wanted to hear your recommandation for the best ones and to be sure to get one that fits.

You can also get like a grind to fit recoil pad off amazon. Little glue and screw. Might want to kinda cut the the crescent curve off.
Otherwise, limb saver + maybe a piece of wood to fill in the crescent?
One more option for you, something like a Learher buttcuff that has a buttpad on it, such as the Wayne Dog brand off Amazon. They have a few foam pads at the back. Throw that on, and I think it would definitely blunt the sharp edges. Might need to stick something else in there as well, but it will hold it all together nicely, but still not make you have to modify the gun. I have one for my lever action since I like leather and wanted the extra inch for length of pull, but I think it would work good for you too.
