Reinforcing Plates on a Firearm
A butt-plate is to protect the end of the stock from injury by contact with the ground; it is generally curved to fit the shoulder in firing. A guard-plate is to strengthen the handle of the stock; it may serve as a fulcrum for the trigger. A tip is a shield placed on the end of the stock towards the muzzle. If the piece be intended to carry upon the back, it is provided with swivels for that purpose, generally two, one of which may be fastened to a band and the other to the guard-plate, or to a point of the stock in rear of that plate.
