March 31, 20215 yr I am looking for a butt plate for a Winchester 1895 Saddle Ring Carbine. Winchester, in their infinite wisdom, used a unique buttplate on the 95 SRC and Musket. It is curved with a small tang, but is a different shape than the standard rille part. it has the door for the stock trap. I have been looking for this part for several years. Have tried the online old Winchester parts dealers. Almost bought a whole parts gun just for the butt plate (was outbid on Gunbroker). Have been tempted to say the heck with it and put a stock from a 94 or a 95 rile on it. Any leads appreciated.
March 31, 20215 yr What's the year the gun was manufactured? Tried S&S Firearms? http://www.ssfirearms.com Granpas? https://www.granpasgunparts.com Jack First? www.JackFirstGunParts.com NuLine? http://www.nulineguns.com/ Asked the Rules Committee if you can square off the butt and put on a low-profile recoil pad? That particular model just begs for a good recoil pad. Ouch. good luck, GJ
March 31, 20215 yr Author My carbine was made in 1912. It's in .30-40. No joy on any of the listed sources.
March 31, 20215 yr Our own Texas Jack Morales likely has one. Guntrader’s in Redmond ,OR. Tell ‘em Boggus sent you.
April 2, 20215 yr Would Gunville shotgun style butt stock and butt plate for the 1895 be of interest? https://gunville.com/collections/all?page=10
April 3, 20215 yr Author Would Gunville shotgun style butt stock and butt plate for the 1895 be of interest? https://gunville.com/collections/all?page=10 I have considered it, but my wood finishing skills are pretty mediocre.
April 3, 20215 yr Well, given no wood working skills and no luck finding a part "for several years", I'd suggest that you look for a restoration gunsmith who has the skill to work the gun the way you want it done. You can have a from-scratch plate built or you can put on a different style stock that Winchester was putting on carbines at the factory, and be totally compliant with "no external, unapproved modifications" rule. Doug Turnbull https://www.turnbullrestoration.com/restoration-services/ Lonnie at Run-N-Iron http://www.runniron.com/index_cowboy.html Either would do a fabulous job, or even a "just make it functional" job - your choice. Waiting longer without a plan doesn't fix much or let you put your firearm to use. good luck, GJ
April 3, 20215 yr I don't know if they are any good, but I recently found this site while looking for a Remington Model 14 buttplate -- worth a shot if you know the specific dimensions: https://vintagegungrips.net/product-category/categories-prod/vintage-butt-plates-and-grip-caps/?ap=w
