My greatest disappointment with my '93 Express was the fake recoil pad. They would have been better off just skipping the pseudo-pad altogether.
Sure, it looked like a recoil pad, but it was really a little thin one-piece spacer that included a built-up hollow box rigid plastic thingy covered by a thin little piece of rubber. Worthless is what it was. Less than worthless really because the rigid box that gave the pad its depth wasn't as large as a metal butt plate or wooden butt plate would have been and didn't spread out the recoil. If I wasn't at the office I'd dig out the camera and the pad.
I hand sanded a Decelerator pad and fixed that issue quickly.
