Iver's & Pond 46734; butt plates for these hopefully available soon.

[mccleskey112 at bellsouth.net]

Thump. Hey: The one I'm looking at is about that size but it is model 39. 
ala 1910. It's not ornate at all but rather plain-jane.
I am considering including a new brass rail in the estimate. I see in the 
Schaff catalogue that they will duplicate one for me. I'm wondering if that 
will take care of the flange problem. Am I opening a can of worms or what.
