Can someone measure their crescent butt plate on any of the following Winchester models? Crescent buttplate for Winchester models 1873, 1890, 1892, 1885, 1886, 1894 and 1895. Length, width, length of tang, thickness and approximate depth of curve.
FYI these Winchester models have a butt plate that is similar in shape to the Colt Medium Frame Lightning. There is a reproduction replacement available for Winchesters that as long as the casting is larger than what I need may be able to be fitted to the Lightning.
Here is a link to the part.

This may be a long shot but the Lightning Butt Plates are being sold for over $100. Reproduction works for the rifle I'm working on.
