NO problems with mine.

No fitting required around the exterior. The only modification needed is drilling a hole the diameter of the receiver extension in the correct location for the extension to poke into. Without the hole, you cannot collapse the stock to the fully closed position. I use a Forester bit set and work my way up from 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", to 7/8". I do them on a drill press free hand. I have a drill press vise, but it isn't worth the trouble to set up. To locate the hole's position, I install the pad, then I drop a silver Sharpie marker down inside the stock where the receiver extension fits with the cap off. I shake the marker around a little, then remove the buttpad. The marker will have a area marked out to give you an idea of where to start drilling. Usually I'll put a straight edge on the bottom of the buttpad and score a center line over the drill area. This helps me get at least the side to side axis aligned. Once you do the 1/4" hole, you can put the pad back on the stock without the screws and look down inside the receiver extension hole with a light and see if you need to shift one way or another for the subsequent size up. Even if you're off a little, you can hog the hole out one way or another to make it work. The hole diameter isn't super critical for sizing. You just want the clearance so that the receiver extension isn't making contact with the sides of the buttpad and preventing it from functioning. The Limbsavers pads themselves are hollow inside the pad, so all you're having to do is poke a hole through the polymer base. You do not drill all the way through the buttpad.
