I am new to the Model 81. I picked up a beauty built in 1943 in .35 Remington. It has a Marble tang and a Marble ivory bead front sight. There was no buckhorn I found a nice King Buckhorn that matches the finish very well. I have a badly buggered trigger plate screw I would like to replace it. Other wise this is an 85% plus gun. I have gone to Numerich and have emailed out to a bunch of specialty dealers listed on the Remington web site. No luck so far. I found this board this morning and thought I'd give it a shot. PM me directly if you have one or know where I can find one.
I just added the pictures and I took them before I added the Buckhorn. You can see my need for the screw.
Thanks

Re: WTB Trigger Plate Screw Model 81
Depending upon your ability, and available equipment (a Dremel tool is very good to have) it's not that difficult to repair your screw head. If you can get someone who knows what they are doing to weld it up, with a little care you can grind it back to shape, polish it, and cut a new slot. A little cold blue will finish the job. I have done this numerous times.
