I lost the loading pad on the d'Angello 3 handle of my Pathos Sniper roller.
If you look at the pictures you can see how the line of sight actually increased without the loading pad. So instead of just replacing the original pad I am now considering making my own which would be oriented more downwards.

I am looking for suggestions on materials and design. I am thinking of a Stainless Steel piece which I will attach to the back of the gun. I already have some ideas on how to do this.

What material should I use for the soft part of the pad that I could easily attach to the Stainless Steel part?

Try to find some hard foam tile and fix it with superglue; make sure that the plastic surface is rough (rub it with sand paper).

Or a rubber tile 3 ro 4 mil thick and fix it with stainless steel screws. If you use screws, drill the hole first in the hard plastic and then insert the screws. Make sure that the diameter of the hole is 1 - 1.5 mil smaller then the actual diameter of the screw.

Thanks for the tips. I will report back once I have figured something out.
