Description
German G3 Butt Plate
This is the butt plate for the G3 rifle's fixed stock: the end cap that sits against your shoulder and closes off the rear of the stock. It replaces a cracked or missing plate and returns the stock to its original issued form. G3 owners, builders finishing a G3-pattern rifle, and collectors of German service kit will find it useful. It is German Army issue in OD green.
Features
- German Army Issue — Genuine government-issued gear from the German Army, not an aftermarket part.
- OD Green Finish — Molded in OD green (olive drab, the dark military green used on issued equipment), so it matches green-furniture G3 stocks.
- Molded Polymer Body — One-piece synthetic construction with a lightly textured surface, the same type of material as the G3's polymer stock.
- Twin Spring Clips — Two metal spring clips on the back snap into the stock and hold the plate in place.
- Stepped Mounting Flange — A raised inner section on the rear seats inside the end of the stock to locate the plate before the clips engage.
- Ribbed Edge — A row of molded ribs along one long edge gives the plate some grip where it meets the shoulder.
- Contoured Profile — The face curves along its length to follow the shoulder rather than sitting flat against it.
Fit and Provenance
The plate is made for the G3's fixed stock and attaches with its own spring clips, so fitting it needs no screws. Check that your stock is G3 pattern before ordering. Because this is issued German Army equipment, the profile and clip arrangement match what the rifle was fielded with, which matters if you are restoring an issued rifle or building a correct-looking clone.

Great Replacement for Worn PlateI had a question about the mounting holes and the customer service reps got back to me same day, which I appreciated. This butt plate replaces my cracked original and feels rock solid on the feild. It's a bit heavier than the polymer plates I used before, but the added mass actually steadies the rifle. Only downside is you can't swap it out for a modular rail system.
Matches original specs,Easy install

8 bucks for genuine Bundeswehr parts, yes pleaseBeen slowly restoring my PTR-91 to look like a proper G3A3 and this butt plate was one of the last pieces I needed. Its the real deal German army surplus — the olive drab color matches the original HK furniture perfectly and the fit on my stock was dead on with zero modification. The polymer is thick and solid, no cracks or warping even after sitting in some German armory for who knows how many decades. At $8 this is basically free compared to what people charge for genuine HK parts on GunBroker. Grabbed 2 just in case.
Authentic German army surplus, made in Germany
Only available in olive drab, no black option for the tropical/slim stocks

Perfect FitI've been restoring my HK G3 to original military spec and this butt plate was exactly the part I needed to complete the project. It snapped right into place with a perfect fit and the olive drab color matches the rest of my rifle beautifully.

New, unused conditionI was very pleased with this item. Looks brand new, never used. I purchased this to replace the used butt plate on my newly purchased PTR-91 which came with used plastic furniture. The green color of the butt plate is a different shade of green than the stock but it still looks nice and is in new condition.
Like new, unused
Slightly different green color compared to the buttstock on the gun. There is a gap between the center portions of the buttplate and buttstock when installed.
