Gentlemen:

As the title states, I would like to purchase eyes for the Winchester sling, and hooks, too, for a model 1894. I need the eye for the stock and the eye for the forend cap.

Secondly I would like to replace the 24″ round .32-20 barrel on my great grandfather’s 1873 rifle. The original barrel was completely shot out and lined. I would like to return the rifle to its original state. Must have an excellent bore.

If you have any of the above, please email. If you know where I can obtain the items I seek, please send a contact or link.

Thanks in advance,

Cal Pappas

Would be unusual to find an “excellent bore” on any gun broken up for parts. But even if you did, it’s not likely the finish on it would match the patina of the receiver & mag tube of the gun you have.

Repro “S” sling hooks & eyes showed up fairly often on ebay several yrs ago, but maybe they’ve dried up since then.

Thanks. I guess then I would be open to finding a round barrel ’73 in .32-20 and swapping barrels to restore my rifle and then sell what’s remaining for parts.
