Did the 77R's ever come with a black plastic but plate in lieu of the red pad or even a black pad? I saw one for sale like that and asked the seller, but they were clueless to the matter.
prefix 700....701s went to rubber...
I got a reply from the seller that solved the mystery just forgot to post here. The rifle in question has a Herter's marked plastic plate on the stock. Presumably the original red pad was worse for wear and that was someone's solution.The first Model 77/22R came with just a black plastic butt plate.
