Looking for a wider than normal Wiedner style buttplate
Buddy is looking for one that measures 1.650 at the heel and 1.200 at the toe.

Any leads would be appreciated.

I used a Biesen plate on one of my rifles and it was quite a bit bigger, but they aren't manufacturing them anymore. Spoke with them the other day. Maybe someone on here has one?

I also have an old metal buttplate off of an older 1917 Enfield sporter that is pretty wide. Is there a pattern you can send me that I can compare against?

I also sent a PM with pics.

MacFarland also makes a larger version called their English Buttplate. It is 1.8" wide and 5 1/2" tall. You can trim it to what ever you want. It's available from Brownell's
