This is my classic checkered steel shotgun buttplate. Decended from an early
Winchester rifle plate, it would be difficult to find a better all-round classic
rifle plate for any single shot or bolt action rifle.
These will NOT be a perfect fit to replace original Winchester
buttplates, being a casting, they have about 5% shrinkage factor. This reproduction plate comes in the white (as cast, shown in the photo, in 4140 steel).
They will
require careful polishing in preparation for blue or case color. Cost for this buttplate, including the correct screws is 30.00 plus 5.00 shipping
Crescent Buttplate- this is a cast reproduction crescent
steel (4140) buttplate, of the short tang Winchester crescent.
While the casting is good quality, it does require
some filing and polishing. The buttplate in the photo BEFORE polishing is what you get.
It is bored
and counter sunk for screws, which are included in the price of 32.00 (plus 5.00 shipping if ordered separate from stock
set.) This buttplate is a copy of a Winchester, however,
being a casting, it is reduced approx. 5% from original. This works fine for a new stock, but will be undersize on
an original stock.
Many of my buttstock patterns are adapted to this plate, please inquire before purchase
There is some misunderstanding about crescent buttplates.
There are hundreds of variations of crescent buttplates
on original stocks. Many do not interchange, despite appearing similar.
The crescent plate I offer is
possibly the most common variety for standard grade Winchesters, being used on many models of the 73, 86, 79, 85,
90-92-94-95
To confuse the issue even more, those same Winchester models also used other variations of the crescent plate,
and they also will not interchange with this plate.
A common question is-- can this crescent plate be
fit to a new Marlin Cowboy to get a more traditional look? The answer is both yes and no.
Yes, it could be fit to the
stock, but no, it will not be even close to right. The adapted factory stock will be far too short in length of pull.
I do make a stock for the Marlin Cowboy, using this plate, see the Marlin page.

Traditional buttplate screws are now
available! (These are included with
your buttplate order) Produced to the dimensions of an original 19th
Century buttplate screw, these are ideal for the finishing touch on your classic rifle. I searched for proper buttplate screws, and had poor luck finding what I wanted. Most of the screws
I found had problems like- oversize screw slots, or were plated, wrong size head and shank, import quality. In short,
I could not find quantities of what I felt were proper buttplate screws.
I had a major American manufacturer
make a production run of these screws to original specs, in C-1022 steel.
As original, they have a rebated head, heavy
shank and the correct narrow slot (use a .035 screwdriver) and 1 1/8 inch length. The difference
is the threads, which are a modern style and pitch, differing from the originals, but the
outward fit and appearance are correct. These are unplated,
and ready to polish, blue or case color.

Forearm Mounting lug
A lug set includes - one dovetail lug, one machine screw, and one escutcheon cup.
They are nicely finished, but in the white.
These are very close to the original winchester pattern, however they
will not directly replace original parts.
A really nice touch for the custom rifle, the lug
set costs 27.00
