Torque,

I posted the same question a few days ago.

Read one or two pages back and you will find it.

Bottom line is, nobody seems to be making one currently, but other triggerguards can be modified to work.

If you are just saying floorplates (not the whole unit) and you are going to remodel the unit that came with the gun, then you could maybe try to modify one of Jim Wisner's straddle floorplates that he makes for the 1909 Argentine Mauser. You might need the services of a tig welder and a milling machine, but I am betting you could make it work.

A guy that does extremely nice work modifying bottom metal is Jim Dubell. There is no doubt in my mind that he would custom make you a floorplate for the unit.

Another option, albeit costly, would be to have Mr. Burgess make the whole unit for you. If I were putting a lot of money into the whole job that is something I would certainly consider.
