NM (Type 4) Buttplate for M1903A1

[Rick the Librarian]

The so-called "Type" numbers were developed by Joe Poyer for use in his book. They have no basis in fact and are confusing. It is best to use a description rather than use the "Types". OxfordAndy did use a description in his initial post. I think Chuck's comment was meant to imply that the "Type" wasn't needed.

Good to know these are "Poyer" specific classifications, and maybe (without access to his book) they could be confusing.
