I was wondering if anyone knows of a source for the missing parts from the current Centerfire Italian BM59 kits?

The parts are:

Upper buttpad screw
Sling swivel, lower sling swivel screw, and retainer spacer

I would like to get one of the kits and have Shuff build me another rifle but was wondering how hard it would be to locate these parts.

Thanks

Standard Parts used to have them, but have been sold out for a while. Probably gonna be kinda hard to find these days. I believe a Garand set will work but the sling swivel will be stationary like a Garand.

As mentioned, sold out - might get some more in knowing them, though!

I have had luck beveling the edges on the standard Garand swivel, taking a nut and sanding it thinner then soldering to a flat washer. These are things one does for themselves as a hobbyist but that nobody would want to have to pay for.

Thanks for the replies. I will give Standard Parts a call and see what they have to say. And I will check out Gunbroker and Ebay.
Good to know as a last resort I can try to modify Garand parts.

I located a set of the butt plate hardware. Thank you for the assistance Eli and SpotOne.
