I am the armorer for our VFW honor guard. We use M1 Garands for funeral services. I want to replace the buttplates with plastic, as when we are at attention, the steel buttplate is on the ground, and gets white shirts very dirty when we shoulder arms. Does anyone have a stl for a plastic buttplate?

There is an M1 Garand in the Black Lotus Coalition Reference Model library: https://odysee.com/@FirearmReferenceModels:6/M1-Garand-Reference-Model:1

However, you'll need to use a CAD program to extract just the buttplate part as an STL. If that's a big ask, let me know and I'll try to hook you up.
