A friend recently found his grandfather's 1886 in 40/82 and needs a couple of screws to get it back in shape. I have tried Numrich Arms, Jack First and several local sources to no avail.
I am looking for the screws that hold the fore end tip on, both upper tang screws and the rear sight elevator. I was able to find said screws for the Japanese made models but was told the are a different or thread and would not work. If anyone has any suggestions where to look next I would be greatly appreciative. Ammo was actually the easiest as my local gun shop had a couple boxes of new manufacture on hand but they had none of the parts I needed.
Thanks in advance.
