Seeking Parts
 

Looking for the following parts for a Lifter mfg 1874 (sn 2831): left side hammer screw (currently incorrect screw); also both butt plate screws are incorrect.

The hammer screw is easy. Contact Tom Carter by PM. Tom makes the nicest hammer screws available.

Thank you. Any thoughts on the butt plate screws?

Dean, truely appreciate your assistance and quick reply. Thanks much

I have used hammer screws and also used buttplate screws.

The buttplate screws were timed originally, so there is no guarantee for a proper fit using used ones.

Brian: I would think that timing buttplate screws should be easy. Wood and adheasive should be all that is needed. It is not like removing metal from the bottom and top of a receiver screwhead. Am I wrong? Bob

Fitting buttplate screws on a steel buttplate is just like fitting screws on a frame.

One of the tricks of fitting used buttplate screws is to get the correct angle. This may require filling the original holes in the wood and re-drilling them to the exact angle required. This will still not guarantee a perfect fit - or even a good fit - but it is a start.
