Who makes a smooth faced buttplate like that today?
That buttplate is a McFarland, my favorite and available through Brownells. I use the "English" as it is a bit beefier down at the toe, less pointed if you will. They do need checkering IMO, the one on my hunting rifle isn't...
http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/sto...-prod72270.aspxThis one was hand checkered by engraver Larry Peters, he doesn't like to do them and a few hundred dollars when you can talk him into it. Tedious and less than creative…
I shot this for a Sports Afield story; As I remember: Fewless and Fewless skeleton, M-70 (cast) repro, McFarland, McFarland skeleton. Notice the different shapes at the toe and heel.
