Does anyone know the part number for the front sight ramp hood? Numrich has a bunch for the 99, but many different alpha characters for the same (I assume their) part number.
An example...

Another thing, I am considering replacing the crescent butt stock with a shotgun style. Numrich also has some of those, which look to be period correct/authentic (old and used), for a reasonable cost. Brownell's has new production stocks that they say will fit. But it will not look right. Too new!
Anyway, I have an 1873 with the crescent butt and I don't like it at all. It is not as pronounced as the old Savage curvature/plate is. So, can a non-crescent butt stock be fitted to my rifle? I have read where people just cut off the crescent part and put a new plate on. I can't even imagine doing that. I'd just use any limb-saver pad that would fit, before doing that!

Thanks!
