That is no problem. The plate was not actually moved down. The heel of the Repro plates have a very large radius to them as compared to meriden plates. The way that I am able to lower the heel on these is to just bent down the spur on the buttplate as to reduce the radius on the heel. Then I inlet the bent spur deeper into the wood. That leaves me a goo amount of wood to then be able to take down. This allows for up to 1/8" or more to be taken off at the heel.

And with the amount that the comb can come down, it still leaves for a heel that is on the high side, but the dimensions can be made much more comfortable for someone who is used to shooting a gun in the 1.5/2.5" drop area.

I hope this makes sense.
