So there I was, mindin' my own business, and along came this beautiful 1895. She has one small problem though. Someone switched the buttplate for a pad and I'm looking to replace it with an original plate. I'm confused on what is the proper replacement. She was built in '78 with a straight cut stock that I don't think has been altered - the LOP is 14-3/4 now.
I've seen everything from a slightly curved plate to the white spacer. Who can help me find the right one?
HIKayaker, that's one nice rifle ya got there! I believe mine with the straight cut is like onespeedbiker's. Anybody know where I can get an original (or repop) that has the straight front/curved rear shape. I want to make this as correct as possible. There is always the option of a slip-on over the buttplate.
So I was disappointed when I pulled the pad off and found that someone had sawed off the end of the stock and drilled a few holes. Presumably it had a curved end originally. Short of replacing the buttstock the repair was to install the concave plate. Not perfect but pretty nice. Thanks for all the help. You guys are great!
