Buttplates under attack......

[painter777]

I've been seeing the harder to find or more valuable buttplates are now becoming a repop item.
Remember seeing the PM-IP and the dot missing at 3 'o' clock from the west coast?
Now I'm seeing others being offered...
Here is a NEW plate with the dot missing at 5 being offered,
US M1 Carbine Part - Stock Buttplate & Scew Nice Finish - eBay (item 400068427307 end time Sep-17-09 21:30:45 PDT)

To the sellers credit he does state it is new.
I just can't help but wonder how much farther it could go....
Seriously....REPOP a part that will sell for $9.99
It's wrecking our hobby.


Disgusted...

That is a legit POST War replacement butt plate made by Springfield Armory. I have seen them new in wax paper in boxes with Springfield Armory Labeling on the box. People say there late Rock Ola's and Saginaws but they are not from what I have seen. Mr. Ricca could probably shed some light on this subject.

Thanks PBI,
For spreading a little sunshine!
The seller states 'New Production' Thats what threw me.
Wish he just said NOS.

Appreciate your time
