With movement from Lezsek, I'm looking for a buttplate. Kicking myself because I forgot about an original at auction that was mixed in with a bunch of other parts. Is there any consensus on with repros are the best? Or should a hunt from an original?

I thought about taking the original off my current stock, but I'd ideally like two buttplates.
 
I ordered the one sold by Darrin Weaver on Ebay. Quality-wise it was fine, but the fit on my stock was way off. I did some careful grinding on it internally, but it became clear that the fit was never going to be comparable to my original buttplate. On a modern rifle I would’ve used some transfer color and then modified the buttplate and stock as necessary. Not about to go that route on an original rifle. So now the replacement plate is in the parts bin.
