maverick4440 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Will the M1A1 buttplates fit on the milsurp 28 buttstocks you see all over the internet? I am doing some refinishing customizing etc on a semi auto and I have a military surplus M1A1 stock on it already but am thinking of putting one of the 28 buttstocks on if I can just swap out the buttplate and hardware.

emmagee1917 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 The military manuals show different drawing numbers , so they are not exactly the same. Exactly what is different I don't know. I only have West Hurleys and a Savage M1 to look at , and I don't know how close the WH's buttplates are to the real thing. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they are different configurations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 While both have a trapdoor, the 1928 variety has a little tab that bends over the top of the butt stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
