Broadarrowmaint Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Mods please remove if this is not appropriate, but I've been looking all over for an m1928 removable stock butt plate with trap door. I've tried Sarco, Numrich, eBay, gunbroker and no luck. If any one has any leads on an original butt plate, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Motorcar Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I know you said you tried gunbroker, but they do show up there from time to time. Several people here may have one they are willing to part with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojeep Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I'm sorry I hate to say this.I went to Sarco when they moved Easton Pa a few years back and purchased the last 1928 Butt Plate they had. They were hesitant to sell because it was so bad.It was rusty and in bad shape, WW2 Surplus.I think I got them to knock a few Dollars off too.

Broadarrowmaint Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I found one on BMG parts. Sais Thompson/enfield butt stock. Are the P17 butt plates and Thompson butt plates the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojeep Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Not sure.But would make sense for Auto Ordnance to look for a preexisting part as simple as a Butt Plate when designing the 1921 style Buttstock Edited October 2, 2018 by jojeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim c 351 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 The P17 butt plate is not the same as the TSMG.The P17 butt plate is the same as the M1918 BARJim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speeddemon02 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I think they are referring to the M1917 Enfield and not the Lee Enfield that comes to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyDixon Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 any differeence between an m1 thompson butt plate and a28 ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijive Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 any differeence between an m1 thompson butt plate and a28 ???Yes, they are not interchangeable. The M1 butt plate does not have the butt plate tang as the 1928 Model does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppgcowboy Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 28 on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexanderA Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 The '17 Enfield buttplate is very close to the '21 - '28 Thompson buttplate. The main difference is that the angle of the tang on the Thompson is not as sharp as the 90 degree angle on the Enfield. But, in a pinch the Enfield buttplate tang can be bent to fit on a Thompson. The metal the buttplate is made of is relatively soft. BTW, the Thompson buttplate screws are like those of the Springfield rifle, not the Enfield. And the Thompson sling swivels are like the Springfield butt swivel. A purist will say that these parts are not interchangeable, but as a practical matter, they are. Especially if you don't care about any markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APEXgunparts Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) I am currently listing Thompson parts on the APEX Gun Parts web site.I have over 100 separate listings to get priced and published to the web site.Last night I know I listed some butt plates, I know we have both 1928 and M1 styles in the warehouse.Please be patient as my Customer Service people can't tell you what is available or sell you anything that isn't actually shown on the web site.
