REPLACEMENT OF THE GEL•TEK RECOIL PAD Some Beretta over and unders come standard with a Gel•Tek recoil pad that can be replaced with other Beretta recoil pads of different thickness and material (optional). By assembling recoil pads of different thickness it is possible to modify the length of pull. WARNING: Check the firearm is unloaded. NOTICE: This operation must be carried out by a competent gunsmith. REPLACING THE GEL•TEK PAD WITH A CONVENTIONAL RECOIL PAD ● With a flathead screwdriver (approx. 4 mm/0.2 in.), pull out retaining clasp of the Gel•Tek recoil pad. (Fig. 41) ● Remove the Gel•Tek recoil pad. ● Unscrew and remove the retaining screws and their bushings from the buttstock, using a Phillips-head screwdriver. ● Pressing the conventional recoil pad firmly against the buttstock, insert the screws through the recoil pad and into the buttstock's pre-drilled holes and tighten them with a Phillips-head screwdriver. It is advisable to oil the screwdriver head in order to facilitate its entry into the rubber material of the pad. ● Tighten the screws.
