Missed another buttplate for my S'G'

[USGI]

The buttplates shipped today, so I should get them Saturday, or maybe Monday. I'm still a little nervous as to why no one else bid on them. They both looked OK to me. I don't think you guys can actually see how high my bid was - I didn't really think I was going to win it. This isn't the first favor that "Charlie Guy" has done for me! I hope I can pay back the favor somehow - maybe help him find something that he's looking for. - Bob

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
