I've found that there seems to be a demand for a metal buttplate for the Ruger 10/22 wood stock carbine. I'm working on having some 10/22 buttplates made in brass or stainless steel that would fit current production 10/22 stocks. These would be prefitted for instant installion. It will be a couple of months but thought that I'd mention it here for interests sake. No idea on price at this tiime but will probably cost less then the price the old aluminum ones command . Input on the preferred metal would be appreciated.
