M14e2 stock Garand buttplate

[76251]

I’ve got a e2 stock that has had the plate cut off and wanting to see if a garand plate would fit. I’ve got all kind of buttplates but no M1. I think they are a little bigger than a m14 plate and not as much work to mount one. Anyone have a spare that they could measure ? Outside dimensions on butt are 5x 1 7/8. Appears 1.25” was cut off if oal is same as GI m14 stock . Probably need to extend stock a inch or so but haven’t found anything that will work yet. Looking at aluminum bar stock but would be hard to make look decent fitting it all by hand tools.

Not as hard as you might think with a mill bastard file. Aluminum is very easy to work by hand. I personally would rather use brass, tho. It's a buttplate on a service rifle. It won't look pretty for long either way, so go with the harder brass
