butt plate

Post by OH Osthaus »

how thick is the hard buttplate at the center on an early (1911) 12 gauge sterlingworth?

just trying to figure out if there was any trimming done when a pad was added (stock with however thick the original plate was should total 14" LOP)

The buttplate on my 1911 Cutout is 11/32 in the middle.
