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

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

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.

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. Posted Image
