Need a thin butt plate/pad

[MD]

I got a new to me 1950s Husqvarna 4100 rifle recently but the buttstock was too long for me with the thick recoil pad on it so I took it off.

I thought I could replace it with an original Husqvarna plastic butt plate but I just tried one from an identical rifle and it seems that whoever installed the recoil pad straightened out the slight curve in the butt so that it is now straight and the original butt plate won't fit right.

I'm taking the rifle to my 'smith tomorrow.

All I want is a thin butt plate. The rifle fits me better that way.

What should I ask for?

Are there any really thin recoil pads or generic replacement butt plates I can ask for?

Most buttplates, new production, are flat and trimmed to fit. As for recoil pads, you can purchase thin to thick and have your smith trim it to your stock.
