McMillian Butt Pad

How does one go about replacing a McMillian Rifle butt pad?

Cut it off and fit then epoxy a new one on. Put the new pad on a belt sander to get it flat. I use 5 minute steel epoxy. I also go around the edge of the fiberglass and scratch out a shallow groove to add contact area for the epoxy.

I got the old pad cut off. There appears to be a black spacer but I think it's there to stay as it seems to be a part of the stock. I will measure and I have gone to McMillian web site for a replacement. New pad may give me an indication of what to do and what's next.
Thanks for your guidance

The black spacer is part of the pad.

OK

All those pads were hand fitted. No off the shelf replacement

I have arrived at that conclusion. I will move in that direction

I've kept the spacers and did a flip-flop pad on top. Works great.
