    M48BO floorplate question?

    hello all,

    just pick this M48BO up and i notice the floor plate is kind of curled up on the trigger guard end... is the normal or is it bent?

    Someone most likely tried to pry the floor plate off not knowing the proper way which is to push the button in with a cartridge or whatever. If it bugs you just bend it back.

    I'd just take it off and bend it back but that's me, especially if it's numbers matching. Couple blocks of wood and a hammer all you need.
