Hello, I have some model 1873 questions. I’m wondering if there’s somewhere I can find a dust cover. I have one 73 that has 2 screw holes where the dust cover would slide. I will try to attach some pictures. Thank you!

It sounds like you have a second model with the dust cover rail attached to the receiver with 2 screws. What is the serial number? Do you have the little spring that is in the recess on the top of the rail? You can send email pictures to my address below.
