[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Metal buttplate source...

Posted: 4/14/2010 9:45:29 PM EDT

Shot my retro again the other day. The A1 stock I bought came with a plastic buttplate. Thing keeps slipping off my shoulder. Is there a source for steel buttplates with sharper checkering? Thanks.

Prob'ly not. If you need more stick, maybe one of the slipover recoil pads with a softer surface.

Or, if you're running a type "E" stock with the trapdoor, maybe change over to a type "D". It's solid, with no trapdoor, but it does have a little softer rubber pad and serrations. It's a straight changeout.

The A2 buttplate is not steel but it does have rougher checkering. I have one on my A1 but that is so I dont crack the A1 buttplate.

Aluminum?

THe A2 buttplate is plastic with heavy checkering. The port door should be Aluminum.

I wish they had used aluminum on all the buttplates - the plastic ones always crack at some point.

I swear the buttplate on my A2 I was issued in Basic Training was metal. No mistaking the sound of them being tapped on the ground during D&C.

RBP makes a solid aluminum buttplate. I have one on a target rifle; they balance a heavy barrel 20" rifle.
Not for pencil barrel carbines. And they are not retro. I think they are called "door knockers"
