From the Savage site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm9DZJ5Cxr4Has anyone seen the custom butt plate pictured here? ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/509ceVj.png) Seems like it may have a trap door hinge. I want one!

Stating "It had a slender walnut stock and a corrugated steel shotgun butt-plate" while showing a non-standard butt-plate. Fantastic plate, pore advertising.
New to me. Don't think the #15 WG rear sight was a standard either. The stock looks to have some wear. Is this rifle displayed at Savage?

It surprised me Savage chose a well worn 1920, sanded and devoid of checkering for this advertisement.
However, that butt plate (or one like it) would be great to install on a rifle along with inlayed sling swivels to customize a Model 1920.

I'm thinking this is a 1920 they have in the lobby, in a case. Couldn't see the buttplate.

Cast aluminum in 1920 seems a little early.

After watching the video, I got offered up this review on David's book. Don't know if it's been posted or if David knows about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oPNbH7NRYw

Who is that guy?
I really like his all his Utube videos.
Dude has a tremendous and diverse knowledge of firearms in general.

He gets some really out there guns to review. Have gained an appreciation of Euro semi autos from around 1900.

The long action 1920 sporting rifle in 256 Newton has a cast aluminum buttplate with a trapdoor. Mark Benenson sent pictures and a rubbing of it when he owned it. It went from Benenson to a guy in TX named John Smyrl to Bruce Jennings in WY and then it was sold out of his estate. I have no idea where it went after Jennings had it.

Where to find a cast buttplate with a trap door today?
I was just reading through my notes from Aug. 2006 after meeting Counsellor Beneson, "Vigilus" for the first time. IIRC, he liked the custom guns and unicorns.

I get a laugh out of it every time I hear that obligatory and cliche "bad ass" electric guitar music added to this type of stuff. And no, I have never seen a butt plate like that one before.

Seems like he was less critical this time. he kept saying it would only interest Savage collectors in this review. I think the next book will interest people who collect other brands that were also engraved by Savage engravers thanks to your biographies. Marlin, Winchester, Colt and Fox come to mind.
