The Beretta 391 comes with a rubber recoil pad in the hard plastic case. Now I want to replace the plastic butt-plate with the included rubber recoil pad. It seemed easy enough, just unscrew the the two screws to remove the butt-plate, but then the problem is that the rubber recoil pad has two very small holes, it cannot be right that I insert the screw there.
The manual says "This operation must be carried out by a competent gunsmith"???

I know how you feel, I just purchased a Silver Pigeon S and the directions cover every gun they make I believe. Mine comes with a rubber recoil pad on it but comes with another that is rounder and maybe shorter. There is no mention of it in the directions or on the web site.
If I was you I would spend a couple of dollars and take it to a gun smith just because it is a Beretta and it is something you will always be proud to own. Good luck and enjoy!!!

Just lightly grease or oil the tip of your phillips screwdriver and take your time and you should have no problem. The screws do go through the tiny holes. It is rubber so it stretches.
