No the plate is on the saddle ring location and is the size of the saddle ring but has no bar or ring on it, is is a smoth plate. I am out of town for now and cant get any pictures of it at the moment. the stock looks correct except it has a non-military one in its place and appears the sock has been fixed one due to some type of issue, i will show you in the pics when i can get them, i have a few now but are too large for this format for them to fit. My bolt is also turnd down next to the stock and not totally sure if that is correct also but have seen pics with both types of bolt handles for the carbine. I was able to order a copy of the book from the web site and is was about $18 with shipping.
