The one that came in the mail today must have bee made for an M03 because it is a little shorter and a little narrower. I was really disappointed at first, but it only cost $25, so I decided to fool with it a bit. I lengthened the inlet on the top of the stock for the tab and I took the curve out of the bottom of the butt plate to give it a bit of length. The 1892 Krags had flat plates, so I don't feel so bad. Since my stock had been shortened .30 inches when they added the recoil pad, having the butt plate a little narrower and shorter was actually a good thing since the end of my stock was a little bit shorter and narrower from being cut. If I used a Krag plate I would probably have had to grind it down around the entire edge so it wouldn't stick out. The width of the one I got today is perfect but the walnut toe of the stock is a little proud to the plate and so is the top. I can sand that toe down a little bit of an angle to meet the plate. The stocks are normally curved at that point to allow for the butt plate. Here's a picture. I may still pick up a Krag plate as some point. I will be stripping and redoing the stock with BLOafter I finish with it. My NEXT step will be to try and mod an aftermarket handguard made for a rifle to fit my carbine stock and fit it with a carbine barrel band. A friend of mine gave me a handguard to try it.
