I purchased an old beater Winchester 1907 in .351 caliber. Someone had replaced the stock with what looked like to be a stock from a Winchester lever, but the butt plate doesn't fit any descriptions in my books. The dimensions are: top of tang to bottom of toe- 4&9/16", Length of tang-2&5/16", Width of tang-15/16", widest width of plate- 1&3/8", Top of tang screw hole distance from front of tang to middle of hole- 7/16", Bottom of toe to middle of screw hole-1& 5/16". All measurements are within 1/16". The bottom of the toe curves in, but it doesn't appear to have been forced into this configuration, it appears to have been cast this way. Here are some pics. Any help would be much appreciated!

Very close to a Type 1 1886 rifle buttplate. Length 4 3/8", width 1 3/8", upper tang 2 9/32 to 11/32" long. The type 1A had the foward protruding toe 3/8" +/- 1/64". Hope this helps.
