How close is the Mississippi but plate to a '55 rifle plate?

Not even close.

Not even close.
I just wondered because I found out the expensive way that the brass rifle plates from S&S don't fit a '61 or '63 Springfield either. :(

Mississippi butt plates are flat. 1855,1861 and 1863 butt plates are curved.

Got that. I think I was thinking of a Zouave, but then that has a patch box. Brain fart on my part due to lack of smelling black powder smoke.....
