    Browning Superposed Buttplate. This came off an old Belgian Over-Under, brought back from Europe by a GI after WWII. The plate measures 1-5/8" x 5-1/8" on the backside (against stock butt). Screw hole spacing is 3-1/4". Upper hole located 3/4" from top. A name was hand-written on the backside of the plastic plate, possibly the name of the gun- or stock-maker. The buttplate is still serviceable, though it has numerous chips and scratches. No screws Price: $10 plus shipping.

    Savage Integral scope bases and rings. Each of the two bases has four holes, spaced to fit receiver hole spacing of 1/2”, 5/8”, or 7/8”. These were manufactured for the Savage Model 170 rifle, but would fit a variety of rifles having a slightly rounded or flat-top receiver. Includes screws. Hardware is heavy-gauge steel. Package never opened. Price: $15 plus shipping.

    Weaver Pivot Mount Base, No. 162. Weaver packaging says for use on Remington 740, 742 and 760. Original packaging. Never mounted on a rifle, screws missing. These mounts look shaky, but I’ve never had one let me down in the field after repeated shooting. Requires your Weaver pivot rings. $5 plus shipping.

    Early Primitive Bullet Mold. Hand-forged iron handles, brass blocks. Likely origin: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Date: unknown, very old. Length overall: about 10.5 inches. Double cavity, two conical bullets. apparently there was no sprue or plate. Approximate cavity diameter: 0.37 inch. No obvious signs the mold was ever used. Closes up snugly, but this is probably not going to drop slugs within 0.001“ tolerance. Then again, I doubt that shooters in Daniel Boone’s era carried a Starrett micrometer. Price: $45 plus shipping.

    No foreign sales. Pay by personal check (wait to clear), USPS Money Order, or cash. Send cash or money orders at your own risk, as the USPS has been known to lose first class mail. If they lose your check, you’re not out $$$$. Sorry, I don’t use paypal and cannot process credit cards.

    I believe I can ship most of the above smaller “plus shipping” items at less than USPS Flat Rate Box rates, but I will need to have your zipcode to get a price. Thanks for looking.
