I found this somewhat by accident. These guys have about everything in the way of grips and buttplates.

I bought a replacement butt plate for my Model 8 from an NC feller (he is on Ebay as jami2409). It looks fine but my original has a more pronounced "curve" to it.
ETA: It appears to be from the same source as the link posted above (i.e., they are identical).
Is this normal? Should I attempt to fit it anyway?

The guy you got your butt plate from, Jami, is not the same as Vintage Gun Grips in Florida. If you'll notice, Jami's are flawed and not good quality. The reason I know is, I purchased one and ended up sending it back. Jami never said anything in his auction or showed pictures of the plates being flawed & not fitting worth a darn. He got real nasty when I asked about it and told me these were produced from a flawed original! He really got PO'd when I returned it and asked for a refund! Vintage Gun Grips are highest quality available and great folks to deal with! Their butt plates can be placed in hot water and held to your butt and pressed to conform to your cut. Hold in place until it cools and it will stay! They will even instruct you on the proceedure. Theirs are the only ones made like this and are simply the best! A few years ago I was asked to citique the various makers products and "none" compared to VGG in FL!

Awhile back, I ordered some pistol grips from the NC source. They did not come close to fitting properly and I did not like their appearance either. I returned them, but they didn't give me any hassle. I haven't bought anything from Vintage, but I imagine it's a much better source.
