Looking for a model 8 buttplate.

Post by Moparfrek »

Hello all. I have a Remington Model 8 "F" grade in need of a butt plate. It originally had a slightly curved rubber butt pad. I noticed that after taking off the rubber butt pad, that the stock has a very slight curve in it.

It looks as though the stock is original and uncut. Now the big question: Did Model 8 high grade rifles come from the factory with rubber butt plates? If yes, where they orange in color? What was imprinted on the rubber?

Sorry for the questions as I am unsure if the rubber is original to the rifle. I would like to put the original "bakelite" or metal but plate back on it.

Please email me if you have such an item that you can spare.

Regards, Al Gainey
