No problems Rolland, glad to help.

I bought a bag full of MS parts of a guy in England for stuff all money and among all the parts were that release lever for the pin and the take-down trigger guard. My 1903 is all complete so I didn't need them.
Interestingly there was also a cocking piece from a Model 1900 in the bag of goodies which would have to be rare as hell.

Matt.

Does anyone have the insert for the trapdoor butt plate, it looks to be rubber or something simular. My rifle is missing that and I thought I might make one as from what I see on Ebay MS parts are rather expensive. I did make a set of cleaning rods according to Rothhammers post.,
I am also looking for a front sling swivel it is missing on this rifle.

The originals have a tendency to be shrunken a bit. When new one could easily fit rods in the top and a cartridge in each of the other two openings. 'New' was a century ago.

My 1922 proofed M1910 TD has the original insert which is distorted a bit at the top hole for the rods to tightly fit if put in just right, other two are too tight for 9.5X57 cartridges. I could bore them out a bit, but have kept her original.

For function, and as your MS will be a 'restored' example, I'd seek out a suitable material of original thickness, cut to shape and bore appropriate holes. May take a few runs at it, but if you succeed there's another valuable MS part you'd be able to reproduce for others.

I don't know what sort of what was used on the originals, just that it shrinks.

If it were me, I would probably fabricate a replacement out of some type of rubber material.
