Mark sent me a picture of his carbine's butt-plate, which I have edited a bit.
The butt-plate is a 'checkered' one from a 1903 Springfield rifle. Note, the butt-trap 'door' is a larger diameter than the 'door' on a Krag butt-plate.
The butt-end of Mark's stock must have been shortened about 3/4 of an inch. A 1903 butt-plate is about 1/4" shorter, (heel to toe), than a Krag butt-plate.
