WTB: Early BAR Buttplate


Recommended Posts

I don't have one , but are you looking for the M1918A1 buttplate with the full length forged shoulder rest or the 1st version M1918A2 buttplate with the shorter stamped shoulder rest ? They both have the trapdoor of the M1918 version .

Well then :

A 1918A2 modified from a 1918 ?

Or a 1918A2 modified from a 1918A1 which was modified from a 1918 ?
​The former would need the short plate , the latter might still wear the long plate style .

Unless an expert chimes in to correct me , I think either could be considered correct in this case . Money was tight between wars , so I don't think they would throw away a perfectly good A1 plate for no reason .

I think either one you find would be good .
