| Nope; his rifle had a flat steel plate, heavily checkered. They went to plastic later in the 60s; cost savings. |

| Thank you for the replies. Checked the one out on Ebay and it is nice, but, since I have only about 300 in the gun, might go with a reproduction one. This my gun is very "finish challenged" and will mostly be used as a "truck" gun, or when I go camping. Again, thanks all for the replies. |

| In case anyone is interested, here are some 94 Carbine butt plates from the 40s to the 80s. Left to right; 1943-48; no records available. 1.3 million serial number. Next two are checkered steel; 1950 and 1962. Next one is later stamped steel, most are blued. Last one is the late plastic one. All are top eject. |
