Helping to get a grip on a old timer

[45flint]

As I was shooting my Crosman 102, I noticed the natural balancing point of the rifle was not the wood cocking arm it was the metal receiver right before it. Given the balance it became the natural handle as well. I was always touching painted metal. I wanted to change that to something more tactile, but not disturb the vintage rifle. I saw online a neoprene Velcro product used to wrap electric cables in a office or home. Looked like just the right width. Below is my patent pending, lol, neoprene grip for vintage guns, goes on and off with Velcro. Feels much better. If this was a old gun with nice bluing it would certainly protect it from further wear, on mine it hides some scratches as well.

Hi what a good idear, that would work a treat also on the old prewar rifles with just the half stocks like the old BSA underlevers ect if there was enough room for the velcro between the cocking arm and the barrel .
