Why are there two different types of buttplates (flat or cupped) on the K98k rifles from WWII? Was the cup style plate done on all K98k rifles from a certain date onward, or was it done by certain factories? Do collectors lean toward one buttplate style over the other? Would a flat plate style ever have been replaced on a stock with a cup style?
Thanks for any info that may be offered on these questions.
