jayhawkhenry Posted July 1, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2018 I picked up a WWII Training rifle today. Needs a little TLC. Does anyone know were I might find some missing hardware? Looking for a butt plate, sling swivel and barrel band with swivel. Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodes Posted July 1, 2018 Share #2 Posted July 1, 2018 I needed a rear sight and buttplate for one......Took some time, but found parts on eBay....You might want to look for a donor rifle, since you need numerous parts..Bodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin6 Posted July 6, 2018 Share #3 Posted July 6, 2018 Except for the butt plate, you can find the parts you need on the post-WW2 training rifles that Paris-Dunn made for the kid/marching markets out of left over parts. I found one at a local flea market and got the metal stamped part of the rear sight to complete mine and it only cost me $10 for the whole rifle (which I made back when I sold the rifle later). The butt plates show up on ebay every so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayhawkhenry Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted July 12, 2018 Many thanks to member Roninb, who was gracious enough to sell me a replacement but plate. A little light sanding and a coat of linseed oil have it looking pretty good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
