This is the buttstock of a Remington pre model 11. Can a recoil pad or buttplate with the correct curve be bought?
Is it possible to bend the recoil pad or butplate & make it fit correctly?

Thanks. Leonard.

  Sure can. I've installed many pads and hard rubber butt plates to curved butts.
  Warm the pad or plate with a hair drier on high or a heat gun on low and then carefully bend it into an arc. Some pads, like the Pachmyr, have a metal insert in the hard rubber base and will take more effort to bend.

  I make 'recoil pad soup' on a regular basis, put the pad or plate on a pan of water and heat to a boil, reshape as needed and let cool
