Walter, I think it is time to look for a Steven's wire frame stock!! Very interesting and professional job of altering the stocks. All in all, I still think the steel buttplate is the way to go, since 100 year old hard rubber can get very brittle and might not have the strength needed to hold the stock??
I believe there were several styles offered over the years and some had set screws for the buttplate. The one in the image I found has only a flat bar that would have fit into the steel plate on the Stevens butt.
