Adjustable butt plate

[Brutus]

I had Calgary shooting centre build me a nice target walnut stock. But that gunsmith is gone now who did the work. I don't desire to drive 700 k to find out.
Of course the gunsmith was not in house when I picked up the completed rifle.

The adjustable butt plate obviously it's there I can see the line divides two thin aluminum plates.

Can anyone knowledgeable gunsmith take an educated guess of the tool required lossen and tighten this setup?

Are there more common choices from Brownells I could try?
I made a meek attempt with long #2 Philips through rubber recoil pad. No luck.

Cheers

Pictures, Brutus!

It occurs to ask.

Was the plate supposed to be adjustable, or were you told it was?

Because there may just be two layers of Al. plate in there as a spacer, rather than as a seam for an adjuster.

Morgan butt plates are in plastic and aluminum.

Are there any hex or Allen screws visible near the middle of the butt plate? The ones I’ve seen usually have external friction-type screws OR use a small Allen wrench/key to adjust.

Man, Brutus, these two don't have much faith in your powers of observation, do they?

LOL!

Seriously, folks, I would bet my last dollar, that if there were any VISIBLE screw heads, they would have been tried first!

The three common screw heads often used in 'pads' are Philips, Robertson and plain old flat bladed...
