DHBP
 

I was just wondering how many different size DHBP were made that have the spur on them?
Were all 10ga guns the same size butt plate?

Varied period to period and frame size matters i.e. 2,3,4,5,6 and style, lifter,top lever,& hammerless. Many variables

I have a top lever 10ga hammer gun #3 frame. What I am thinking of doing is using the plastic dog's head butt plate as a spacer behind a silvers #3 pad that I am going to be putting on this gun. The gun has a short LOP that is why I want to add to it. It currently has a non original metal buttplate with the spur on top and I just want to use something to fill in the spur on top of the butt when I add the silvers pad just so it looks cosmetically nicer. I am going to try and keep the end of the stock as is so I can put the metal buttplate back on in the future if need be.

I will machine the plastic DHBP so it sits flat against the Silvers pad.

I thought there was a Silvers pad with the spur or maybe it was a copy of the Silvers. You might want to do a little searching

Brian Dudley had replied to a previous thread saying that the CSMC pad that had the spur, the spur was too small to fit properly. I don't know if there are any other pads with a proper size spur??

Silvers pad spurs are much smaller than the spurs on Parker buttplates.

To answer the original question, Spurred dogs head buttplates come in 6 different sizes as I can figure. 4 of which are most commonly found and are being reproduced these days. Most 10g. guns used the number 3 size which is being reproduced by a few sources. I stock this size plate, along with most others.

Bob have you considered using a piece of wood for the spacer? You could fit it to the stock and maybe even treat it to match then add the pad.

Does anyone know if someone makes a thin spacer that is radiused on one side to fit the existing butt stock curvature but it is flat on the opposite side to go against the rubber pad?

Most plastic spacers (and silvers pads for that matter) will flex to a curve. Sometimes it takes boiling water or a heat gun to make it happen.
