The buttplates showed up early - last Thursday. I got stressed over getting ready for a gun show and didn't take a close look at them for a couple of days. The IP was deformed a bit, so I did some careful straightening on it. I don't think it has 50% finish as claimed, but looks about right for my gun. What is "original" finish on one of these, anyway? The NPM is good and straight, but has been reparked over some wear and pits. Both had been removed with a screwdriver tip that was too wide. They're good enough for me, though - Bob
