    Help with Butt Plat ID

    Just finished the part 2 article in the GCAicon Journal on butt plates and it compelled me to take a look at one I have. I'm not sure what I have here but I thought maybe HRA? Any help would be appreciated.

    Looks like HRA to me, too. The very flat apron around the lower screw looks like the one in the Journal picture.

    That's the picture that caught my eye, that made me think it was HRA as well. That and ( not very clear in the pictures) it has a round plunger.

    Looks to be Springfield to me.
    If you look at the bulges by the hinge they blend smoothly , a HRA the end of the bulges are sharper
