Remington 30 Express

[Montana Sailor]

Hello,
Longtime lurker, first time posting

I recently acquired a Remington 30 Express in 250-3000. It is a custom build by WF Vickery. Also has an Echo side mount scope mount.
But, I need a pistols grip butt cap for it. Even a good close up pic would help show me what I am looking for.
Any help appreciated.

If your talking about a factory replacement butt plate then these guys appear to have some available.

The pictures of the 30 express i ca find do not show stocks with a grip cap, but since you said your rifle was a custom build, the stock may not be a factory version. Could you post pictures of your gun? That would help identifying what stock parts you need.

Actually @gsbuickman has an Arisaka T-99 built by Vickery, his gun uses a Fajen aftermarket stock, so its likely your (while it may not be a Fajen) would use an aftermarket stock as well.
If it is a fajen, i have a butt plate, but the grip cap would likely need to be custom fitted.

This pic shows the missing pistols grip butt cap. I am pretty sure it is the original stock.

Would that be a cap or maybe where a sling was mounted?

Lists grip caps, which after more looking it appears i was wrong about and the model 30s did have.
You could measure rhe length and width of the flat on your grip, and see if any kf the remington caps listed by numrich will fit.

Yes, I am sure I can find one to fit. But, I am hoping to find what was stock ( no pun intended) and find that replacement.
Thanks for suggestions though.
