Model 12 brass butt plate?

[remington600]

There is a guy on Ebay that sells every week repro stocks. Usually cherry. I have not seen everything but I am a collecter of model 12s. I dont have as many as some but more then 30 and I have never seen a brass trap door butt plate. My guess its not facttory

I doubt very much that it is factory. I've never seen one and have found nothing in the archives that would indicate factory use.

[quote="Laguna442"]Here is the link to this butt plate. The guy had listed a stock and several other parts. As I too had never seen a brass butt on a model 12 I did not buy the stock for fear it was altered to fit this plate. It is a professional looking plate... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0072005080[/quote]
If the trapdoor matched up with the hole for removing the stock I guess one could put in a cleaning rod. I'll go out on a limb here and say it ain't factory; at least not the Remington factory...

Well I know for sure thats not a model 12 buttplate. I have no idea what that fits. Its a pretty ugly thing.

The individual who paid $34 for it must have liked it.
