    Wayne,

    Wish I had better advice or suggestion for you,
    Armi Sport/Taylor's & Co. might be your best bet for a repro.
    Next, would be "The Rifle Shope" out of OK., if you should live so long as to get it. They are noted for a very poor turn around time even if they say they have the item "in stock"!
    Last would be an original. You may have to pay through the nose for these and hope it will match the weapon your wanting to restore or put it on.
    Fit may depend greatly on what you have to start with
