Any recommendations?

That is called a buttplate, not a floor plate. The floor plate is on the bottom of the receiver.

You can get a reproduction Fox buttplate for $35 here:

Or a reproduction Fox buttplate for $15 here:

LOL, thatnks for the correction. Bitch getting old.

When adding a reproduction Fox butt-plate, would you retain the original if I ever decide to sell?

Thanks for the link and correction.

I don't think the broken original would have any value.
