There was as much variation in spur sizes as there was anything else on these guns. I would not expect them to fit all guns.

I think the #2 plate will fit on my grade 2 10ga just fine once I trim the spur down quite a lot in length, so no having to return it. The spur on the original is much shorter and a bit blunter tipped than the replacement, which is far better than it being longer than the replacement. The width of the replacement plate at the widest point looks like it will be just about perfect. I may have to put it in hot water and put a tad more curvature in it. I ordered a #1 today for the 12ga. They're all $15 + $3.50 USPS shipping. They mailed my first one within 4 hrs of me ordering it. Not bad. Looks like I'm going to have to go with my 32" 12ga hammer gun for this weekend's duck chasing.... or the 10ga with 12ga equivalent hand loads.

I have used their repro buttplates on Oberndorf Mauser sporters. They do not look exactly like originals but are close enough. I am ordering one for my VH with chipped toe. Hope it fits as well.

The good thing about dealing with gentlemen is they allow for a certain amount of error on their part and on the part of the buyer. The exchange policy is obviously one that makes lasting friendships and customers that refer others to them. I don't even want to look at all the stuff that I "ate" because I erred at the point of ordering and there was no return or exchange policy.

Any more information would be helpful, especially about spur fit. Thanks. |

I received my "#2 w/ spur" repro buttplate for my VH 12 today. It is a very high quality repro, much better detail than those I got for my commercial Mausers. The spur is a bit oversized so it will take some time to fit. Better than being undersized! Each will be a little different but I am very pleased with the one I received.
