Nice rifle, being stocked in coachwood, make sure you keep the stock regularly well oiled with BLO. Dry coachwood will tend to compress in the draws, ultimately splitting the forestock.

Unfortunately it's more than likely the threads have been tapped to accept a modern screw thread, thus looking for Enfield pattern screws won't achieve much. A simple blade screw in the existing thread would look more correct however.
