WTB: Mississippi rifle trigger guard bow

[lexington1]

Looking for a Miss rifle trigger guard bow. Am restoring an original that someone cut the sling swivel lug off of. If you have anything contact me at: lexington1@blackfoot.net

Many Mississippi rifles were done that way when converted to shotguns when they were sold off as surplus. A lot of us wish for trigger bows with the sling swivel attached but they aren't out there. What I've done is silver solder a brass lug onto the front to the bow then shape it up and install a swivel. After the swivel is attached it is hard to tell if you get a good tight joint. That's how I've dealt with it.

Thanks John. I might have to do that. Do you know if any of the Italian repo bows would fit?
