Who likes a Crescent Butt Plate? Who has modified them? I totally understand how they are supposed to be shot, off the upper part of the Bicep. But for guys like myself i find them 100% useless! My style doesn’t allow shooting off the upper part of the Bicep comfortably. When i bought my Lyman Great Plains Hunter rifle the VERY FIRST thing i did was go around the Crescent butt plate by filling the Gap with memory foam and installing a Lace up leather pad, My Lyman was DANGEROUSLY sharp on the top end of the Crescent, so sharp that i was Confident it would cut a hole through my new lace up leather pad, I actually removed the Plate from the Rifle and used a Dremel tool with sanding wheel and rounded the ‘Knife Edge’ off really good, then reblued it, and added the Leather Lace up pad. My TC Hawken Crescent wasn’t nowhere near as bad as the Lyman but i stil didn’t like it, it wasn’t ‘Knife Edge’ sharp like the Lyman so all i had to do was ad the memory foam in the U and install the Pad
I talked to a guy on CB way back that got ‘Bit’ HARD by a Crescent butt plate, it actually poked a hole in him! Now I understand he wasn’t holding the rifle correctly, but fact is Why chance an accident like this? Other than being ‘Traditional’ i find the Crescent Butt Plates to be 100% useless
Here is a Crescent Butt plate like my Lyman Great Plains Hunter, look at the top of this thing, no need to bring a knife along while hunting, you already have one on the Butt of your rifle :lol: Total joke in my opinion, and the first thing that goes on any rifle i own!
Picture of the guy that got a hole poked in him from a Crescent Butt Plate, Looking back, i bet he wishes he had done something different that day
My fix on both of my Rifles with Crescent Butt Plates, Lyman Great Plains Hunter, and TC Hawken
