The Gillespie Rifle Works Buttplate Page

Brass and Steel Buttplates.


Right now I carry two different types of buttplates. Both are available in nice yellow brass (no bronze!) or steel. The Gillespie style is a copy of the one on a Phillip Gillespie rifle signed and dated 1848. A picture of this rifle is shown on page 36 of my book The Gillespie Gun Makers of East Fork NC  $22.50 plus $3.50 for First Class mail.
