Winchester model 20 INFO

perked
I am wanting some info about the old Winchester model 20 .410-ga. single shot shotgun.
I would like to know what the LOP was as this gun came from the factory?
I would also like to know which buttplate it came with, the slightly curved plate or a flat plate?

Thanks for any info you might have.

    Thanks for the reply rollingblock, i have the old gun bit someone cut the stock and then used it to to beat tent stakes in the ground it looks like. I was needing to make a new stock and need the correct length and type of but, I have found a picture of one and from the pistol-grip back looks very simalar to the early model 97 buttstocks but the picture is not very good and I can't tell for sure.

    Hello perked: Well the Md 20 was first delivered to the warehouse in March of 1919. Manufacturing "stopped" in 1924, for the US. But continued into 1935 for export. Total production is around 23,616. Early guns had a 2 1/2 in. chamber. Somewhere around 18,000 they started to chamber them in 3in. ( If it's not marked 3 in. it isn't!)

    LOP is 13 1/2 inches, DAH is 2 1/2 in. DAC 1 9/16 in. Weight about 6 lbs. The one picture I have shows a real thick Black hard rubber butt plate, that is real thick on the ends and thin in the center. The Butt stock is cut straight. The curve is in the butt plate, being thick on the ends and thin in the center. Regards Dave

    Dave,
    Thanks for the info, that really helps about the buttplate, is the 13 1/2 lop with the buttplate or without?
