The parts i need aren't found on most of the sites i've been too.

What i need is the silver plates screwed to the stock around the sling slot holes (4)
I also need the Front and rear band springs, there rusted out on this mosin i bought. the wood is also rotten 1/8" around where the spring pin goes through the stock on the spring side.

Also Is there a way to repair/add back to the wood after i've removed the rotten section?

Can anyone provide some insight
Thank You!
 
For the wood repair you could try a wood dowel. Hopefully there is enough room to drill out the bad stuff and then glue in the dowel
 
i just scraped it out around the band spring, it's really not that bad, only 1/8" deep bye 1/8" wide around the circumference of the spring. Dowel is a cool idea. I know i might be being picky, it's just a mosin lol
 
"...a way to repair/add back to the wood..." Precisely drill out(bigger than the rotted area and leave the hole rough) the rot then putting in(epoxy) a hardwood dowel and drill a new hole. Sand it even and stain the plug after drilling the new hole. You likely won't be able to get an exact colour match with stain, but you will get close enough.
Gunparts is listing the Sling Escutcheons as sold out(kind of an odd part to need replacing). They don't list any band springs, but do list a stock at $57US.
Try Western Gunparts. They might have the band springs too.
 
Sling escutcheons that take screws are only found on pre-war rifles. Generally the replacement stocks we see are post-war and have the barbed/pressed in escutcheons... might be a bit hard to find. Barrel band springs might be easier, try phoning any of the places that sell 91/30s - they usually have a donor rifle or two in the back.
