Hello all, I'm finishing a 1917 Winchester and the only piece I need is the butt plate. What is the correct finish for the winchester butt plate? Black or brass or?
Thanks,

Mike

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

To my knowledge the original Winchesters were blued none were parkerized during WWI. Later re-built ones probably with parkerized finish.

Greetings, I just bought a 1917 from CMP icon

today. Its all ES except for the stock and the butt plate. The plate has "W" stamped on it. If you happen to have one with "E" stamped on it, I would trade you for it.
