replacement butt plate

[Richard Flanders]

I got my replacement urethane butt plate from gungrips/NCOrdance and it is absolutely gorgeous. Whoever it was who said I might find I like the replacement better than the original was spot on. These guys are making a nice product. Unfortunately I got a #2 plate as I figured it would fit a 2-frame gun... not so. Should have pulled the broken one before ordering as it has a big "1" marked on the underside. I am exchanging the #2 for the #1 plate that it needs for just a little extra postage. If the one I get is a good retrofit I am going to consider replacing the plates on other vintage Parkers that I use a lot so as to preserve the apparently brittle originals, especially on duck guns like my grade 2 10ga hammer gun. My 12ga 0-grade hammer gun will be fine with it's steel plate that would do more damage to what it hit than to the gun... When I pulled my 'chipped' plate off it fell in half so now consists of 4 pcs. Damn....
