the tang sight is missing and so is the butt plate, it's the flat butt plate, straight stock, person i bought it from said his granddad got it new in 1907.
Where might i find a plate, or a replacement stock with a plate, and where might i find the sight?

Welcome to the site JerseyLightning.
Like many others before you, finding parts for these rifles can prove very difficult. If your rifle was mfg. in 1907 it originally came with a slightly semi-curved hard rubber buttplate. Reproductions of this buttplate can be found at the link below...

Original stocks are much harder to find. A member here makes top notch quality reproduction stocks. He can make them in any configuration. His contact info is below.
