Hello All,
Usually don't have much trouble finding what I need online but this one is throwing me for a loop.
Recently came into an 1894 in .44 Magnum. It's a 1970 edition with the gold colored trigger and 100 year emblem in the stock. In pretty darn good shape (wood is great, a little surface rust in a few spots that I'm cleaning up) with one exception... it's missing its saddle ring.
After some searching, I'm not able to find any kind of replacements. All of the replacements that I have found appear to be for later models to replace their manual safety. From what I can tell, this is just a "simple" threaded hole that the saddle ring threads into.
Anyone know where to source one of these? Gold colored would be ideal but I'll take what I can get.
If they can't be found or are not reasonably priced, does anyone know the thread pitch of the screw so I can just plug it?
Not my rifle (obviously, since this one has the saddle ring) but this is the part that I'm talking about:
