Cleaning up a bit, I came across a couple butt plates, alloy of some sort, in really decent shape. One is Savage Ilco marked, the other is W&T. A.(Avery) marked. If interested Pm me with an offer and mailing address. These are still available; plus I also found another that has a Malty(stylized M in a square?) casting mark then stamped F, is a No4 brass very good condition.

Its called "ZAMAC", or Mazak, actually an acronym for its components. " Zamak alloys are part of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_aluminum" rel="nofollow - zinc aluminium alloy family; they are distinguished from the other ZA alloys because of their constant 4% aluminium composition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamak#cite_note-eazall-2" rel="nofollow - [2] The name zamak is an https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acronym" rel="nofollow - acronym of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_language" rel="nofollow - German names for the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metals" rel="nofollow - metals of which the alloys are composed: Zink (zinc), Aluminium, Magnesium and Kupfer (copper). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamak#cite_note-eazall-2" rel="nofollow - [2] The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey_Zinc_Company" rel="nofollow - New Jersey Zinc Company developed zamak alloys in 1929.

I have one of those alloy butt plates but its different than the rest for some reason. Its more lightly constructed, not as robust as the rest of them. I have no idea whats its off of. Its a touch smaller than a no 4 butt-stock profile, but will screw right up to it. Its like or near new. Does anyone know what is was originally for maybe?
