Skeleton Buttplate 20 gauge size

[Jim DiSpagno]

The overall size of the butt end of the 20 ga. stock as oppossed to the 16 ga. in the "0" frames were significantly different with the 20 ga. being smaller. I found this out when trying an "0" frame 16 ga. butt stonk on a 20ga. frame. The head matched up but the butt plate from the original 20 ga. stock was too small. Jim

The gauge of the two guns would not be the determining factor. #0 frame guns of whatever gauge were commonly fitted with #0 size or #1 size stocks depending on the desired weight or fit. To add a bit, a #1 frame gun is also commonly stocked with a #0 frame stock.

So Tom,
How were you able to convince Bob to turn over the 20 gauge
so you could reunite your buttplate with its' long lost gun?

Offered Bob a swap of the buttplate if he could find an original Parker 20 Gauge skeleton in trade.

Thanks Harold. This one is indeed smaller, so it certainly was made for a 20 ga.
