WANTED Butt Plate

[Dude]

Need a large butt plate - 5.25x 1.65"

I know I can find one from various vendors, but thought I'd see if anyone here has one they don't want any more. I'm more inclined towards a shotgun style (checkered) or a crescent - brass or steel - either works.

I have a steel Virginia style somewhere. It's closer to to 2" wide though.

 

[Dude]

I'll have to research what the Virginia style looks like. Would it wreck the plate getting narrowed 3/8"?

I should have mentioned this is for a Sporting Sharps with a cheek rest.

Don't know anything about that rifle but here's the butt plate.

If I narrowed it down to 1 5/8 I'd lose the flat mounting edge. Also, I'd be cutting into the stock a ways (it's too long as it is) to fit the plate, so the plate might wind up being narrower than 1 5/8. This is my first butt plate job so I'm being a bit cautious. I'll send you a PM.
