I have a CZ 527 Carbine which (for me) needs a little more length of pull. No problem, I grab a screwdriver and go to remove the factory pad. No screw holes! The rubber face of the pad has no holes for screws, not even a tiny cut (I looked with a big magnifying glass, stretching the rubber for the slightest sign).

The exploded diagram in the manual shows a butt plate held on with two screws. On the carbine, the butt pad is two piece, hard plastic followed by rubber. I have tried pushing, pulling, twisting and prying to see if the pad was of a quick detach type or if the rubber could be separated from the plastic part. No luck.

Short of a saw, how do I get the pad off of this rifle?

Hmm. You've tried the usual tricks to find the slits used to conceal the screws when pads are conventionally attached. Could a magnet help?
Were you going to reuse the pad, with a spacer underneath it? If not, why not just cut the pad, and clean up the butt end of the stock for a thicker unit?
 
I was hoping to reuse the pad with a walnut spacer for length. A proper job would require a new (longer) pad, but I am cheap. The pad is rather thick for a magnet to work, but I have a really strong one and will give it a try. If there are screws under there, I have no idea how they were tightened. I thought that the plastic might have been screwed down and then the rubber press fitted into the plastic, but I cannot separate the two. Glued on, perhaps, or heat fused.

I may take an exacto knife and go mining for screws, or I may have to saw it off, but I was hoping that a Gun Nut might know the proper removal procedures.

Its always possible that the unit was bonded together on final assembly. Hopefully another owner of one of these rifles might know. Have you called Dave Campbell at London Guns in the GTA? They are the importer of the Brno line.
 
Exacto knife off the rubber pad, hopefully this exposes the screws. Remove lengthen and punch a screwdriver though to install the screws. Can I get a hail Bubba?
 
Check and see on the diagram what head the screws are, if not sure try a phillips, ,center the screwdriver left right, take it down 1 inch from either end, then go slow with pressure, the screwdriver will find the hole.:) use a bit of grease to not tear up the pad..
