1st understand, paid $900 for it, (didn't expect it to be true, but $900 for a Trapdoor 50/70 is OK). 2nd, after a little research today, sn 48xxx is well outside of the of the 1-3422 sn range of the cadet. My rifle may be on an actual be Cadet stock chopped at front end. The cadet was buttstock is thinner than my 1863, at 1,25 vs 1.56. Guessing the 1861/1863 stocks were replaced, the 1861/1863 were 3 band, the 1868/1869 were 2 band.
So my question, anyone have an 1868, what is the thickness of your but plate?
Thanks
