New Member seeking replacement parts
Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2012 9:11 am
Gentlemen;
I am rebuilding a Model 8 that was in a house fire, it is all there however the wood is scorched beyond use. I am looking for an original stock, butplate and forend. Oddly enough the rifle is in decent condition there is some heavy pitting on the front end of the barrel jacket. I would replace that to if I could find one for sale. As it stands now I will polish it the best I can and have the whole thing reblued. I will need to replace the springs since they too were near the fire and their temper is now suspect. If anyone has parts please contact me via a pm.
Thank you,
Fred T
