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, 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 (if ordered separate from stock set.)

Crescent Buttplate- this is a cast reproduction crescent steel buttplate. While the casting is good quality, it does require some filing and polishing. 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 cast copy, it is reduced approx. 5% from original. Many of my buttstock patterns are adapted to this plate, please inquire before purchase

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.

Unable to find quality buttplate screws (most were imported, or the wrong size, often with a slot that was way too wide) 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

These Barrel Lugs are copies of the Winchester pattern forearm lug used on the 1885 Highwall. (it would be dumb luck to have them fit an original exactly however) They are threaded to use the 10/32 Fillister head screw that I include with them, and can be used on most single shot forearms when rebarreled.

If installing a new barrel, you would be wise to have this lug on hand BEFORE cutting the dovetail in the barrel to assure correct fit, that is, cut the barrel dovetail to fit the lug.

Now including the screw escutcheon cup, not shown
