I am new to this forum. I've read some of the posts and it looks like an excellent site. Sorry to begin my membership with a question but I have an issue I cannot resolve.
I have a Marlin 1895 45-70 Govt. with a curved shoulder mount on the stock and a straight grip in walnut (Ser.# BOO 8765). A friend recently set it down too hard on a concrete floor and chipped the butt plate and part of the butt stock. I've called Marlin and a couple of old parts dealers and cannot find the replacement butt plate. This gun was manufactured in the mid 1970's and has the straight stock grip and the moon shaped shoulder stock.
Any ideas on where I can get the butt plate. I would love to have the original but will settle for an aftermarket piece.
Thanks!!!
