Peak 44 Bastion Pad Adapter

[Bbrinks]

The LOP on my bastion came to 12.75” which is too short for me. Working on a 3-d printed adapter to use a microcell pad for pretty minimal weight increase and the ability to make any LOP I want. Planning on epoxying it to the stock and using heat set inserts to mount the recoil pad. Printed one isn’t the final setup, had to tweak a couple features for the inserts and some little extra pockets for the epoxy to sit into.

Looks good, interested to see the final product. I'd be down for one, if you end up selling any. My tikka Bastion came in at 13.25" so I use a limbsaver slip on that adds about an inch and works fine. But this would definitely look "cleaner".

Tweaked it a little bit and mocked up a quick recoil pad, but 95a TPU is too stiff with 20% infill so I’m going to mess with that a bit and maybe skip buying a recoil pad if I can do my own. Worked pretty well with the inserts and got it right at 13.5”. Going to do the final with PETG, but it only adds .7oz to the old recoil pad (94.1g total vs 72.7g) and might be able to get it almost neutral with a lower infill on the pad

Very interested in this. My bastion is to short and the fact they made the recoil pad goofy and proprietary makes me want to ask them. Why would you intentionally limit your market?

Keep it going, you definitely have a market here. What pads will it be compatible with?

Could really be any pad that is close to the same length and width as the stock. If they’re close it is easy to blend the profile at stock to match up with the footprint of the pad.
