I put a cheap rubber but pad on my M-38. Makes a world of difference! MN's are short stocked, smaller people and HEAVY clothing need short stocks. With the extended pad, the MN can shoulder properly, and kicks softer than a 30-06.
My M-38 is the one that gets thrown in on range trips, the one that is there in case everything turns to crap. When whatever else quits, the M-38 just WORKS!
