<BR>It IS a butt-plate, butt it is shaped differently and is not something l=
ikely to be replaceable with any kind of universal part. Like I =
said, though, I do not have a focused mental image of this. It was sev=
eral weeks ago that I saw it, but this is the first time I've had time to ev=
en think about doing anything about it.
