It does not have a screw in underside
OK if its serial # is in the 3 million range then it's definitely post 64. I'm thinking somebody replaced the original buttplate at some time because a 70's 94 should have a black, hard rubber butt plate.


Very well might have happened even though I don't know why. As bad as hard rubber pads are, steel is worse.
I've got a pre 64 with checkered steel butt plate and one from the 70's with the hard rubber butt plate and I can't tell a bit of difference in how they feel when you shoot them. Recoil is very mild with either.
