You guys can beat the photographer, but I believe it’s a standard plate. I wished I could’ve had more time but I do think I remember seeing it. I love that buttplate style so I’m usually better about this. ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/ww233/beretzs/8B685024-66C2-48E3-89EC-34724FD3E55C.png) it is still really hard to tell if the widows peak is there in that pic. The only reason I ask is because I have seen some that were ground off when the stock was shortened. Guys did that back in the day..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I will disagree as for handling. I think the carbine handles much better than a standard. It really feels good.

If i ever find another rusted bore pre-64 M-70 it's going to be a 20" JES rebored 9.3x62mm chunking 300gr A Frames at 2250 fps through custom Quarter Rib Express sight, talk about a light handy thumper to go after Cape Buffalo in the thickets of Africa or deer, hogs or bull Moose ; ]

In the end I decided to pass on this rifle.
There's a BRNO 21H in 7x57 headed my way instead, with a 20.5" barrel.

That would’ve been a hard gun to leave behind

How many have handled one? I’ve only had one in hand….”Belltown Bob’s”….it would have been hard to make a poorer balanced rifle. Rarity is one thing, however handling was not one of its selling points. Bingo, that is something Scotty mentioned to me in a text yesterday.. Butt heavy….no where near any semblance of center balance..

Those Brno 21s are nice guns. I really like mine.
