mossberg 810ah floorplate

[Hutchy]

Hey everyone,

My girlfriends parents have an old mossberg 810ah chambered in 30-06. The floor plate is broken and from what I understand it is the hinge that snapped off.
They are having a hard time sourcing this part in Canada, they even tried getting it from the states (didnt work).

Anyone have one of these kicking around ? or have any idea where i can get one before i file one out of metal?

here are some pics, il try and take some better ones if i make the trip up there Sunday.

Sorry if the pics are to big, not sure how to make them smaller.

I have a trigger guard, floorplate combination in the same shape. If I remember, they were a thin, stamped, sheet steel, with a very thin hinge, prone to breaking.
If you are looking to fix it up, permanently affix the floorplate to the bottom metal and make it a top-loader.

I fixed one for a friend. Silver soldered a small piece of steel on the front end of the floorplate. Then filed it to fit into the mating recess and ran a 1/16 in. pin through both parts to hold it in place. Original replacement parts were impossible to find here and in the U.S.
