    The butt plates are all the same size. The difference you will see is in the angle of the butt from the toe to the small of the butt.

    What you may notice is that the butts all differ slightly and Armourers always had to fit butt plates to the individual weapon. They like to get the butt plate to just sit inside the end profile of the butt so it wasa qui9te common to file a butt plate down to suit the butt
