Hi everyone!
I recently got a Winchester model 1873 from my Grand Father. It is in overall good condition, but has one missing part: the front barrel band. I have attached a picture of the rifle.
If anyone knows where can I buy a replacement, I would really appreciate.
Thank you very much!

if they don't have the dovetail band....try Jack First gun parts too.........

Thank you! I already got the band, however it is not threaded. Do you know how could I make a thread for the screw?

unless there's a counter sink for a screw head on one side, it should be pinned, not screwed.
perhaps you should take it to a gunsmith............. |
Yea...that's out of my realm of expertise too !

i've got a box of old pins here, but don't know the exact size or i'd offer to send you one as a goodwill gesture.......but any competent smith should have one handy and be able to pin it for a few dollars.
or Numrich arms sells "antique pin packs" with several different sizes included for a reasonable cost. |
