2 When the access holes are located, place a small amount of
petroleum jelly on the tip of a Phillips screwdriver to avoid
damaging the recoil pad when the screwdriver is inserted.

counterclockwise until the screws are completely loose
from the stock. When both screws are free, remove the pad.
The new pad will come with its own screws in the pad. Before you
attach the new pad or spacers, it is a good idea to hold the shotgun
to your shoulder to determine if the new length feels comfortable
for you.
INSTALLING THE RECOIL PAD AND/OR SPACERS
1 Start the screws through the recoil pad and/or spacer(s) into the
holes in the stock (Figure 22). Remember that the optional pads
come in ½" increments to shorten or lengthen your pull. Spacers
are ¼" thick and are available to be used with the recoil pads,
if needed.

Original Cynergy shotguns feature the Inflex Recoil Pad System. This
system is designed to significantly reduce felt recoil and be easily
adjustable for length of pull using a combination of stock spacers and
one of the three different length recoil pads that are available. There is
a ½" difference in the thickness of each pad, and each spacer is ¼"
thick. Original Cynergy models are fit from the factory with a
standard length recoil pad, which provides a 14¼" length of pull. Extra
recoil pads, spacers and combs can be purchased by calling our Parts
Dept. at 1-800-322-4626, or by contacting your Browning dealer.
IMPORTANT: Optional recoil pads for the original Cynergy wood
models will not fit on the composite stock models. The pads made for
the composite models will not fit original Cynergy models with wood
stocks. When ordering make certain you select the right recoil pad for
your shotgun and desired length of pull.
REMOVING THE RECOIL PAD
1 Locate the two hidden screw slits located at each end of the recoil
pad. The holes can be found by gently probing in the areas shown
in Figure 21.
