Gunsmiths that Mount new clawmounts on old rifles will likely have "take off" parts that will replace the entire broken "slider". Failing that, it can be repaired. If you take the screw out of the "good" side, it will come off, and the broken part can be pulled out. Note, you will find two small springs inside, save them. If you examine the broken off "wing" carefully under magnification and strong light, you will see that it is also mounted to the broken bar by a screw, like the "good" side was. It has been polished and engraved to hide the screw head. The screw slot may or may not still be visible, but if it is, try to back it out with a screwdriver that has been ground to fit the slot precisely and held in a drill press to keep it from twisting out of the slot. You may need to deepen the slot with a graver. If you can remove the broken piece, just make a duplicate bar. You will notice that the old one has been filed on the bottom side. This was done to fit the hooks to the base, without "play". Don't duplicate the file marks, leave this to whoever fits the new ring (the front foot, "Hackenstuche" will come with a new "plate", prefit tightly to it). After removing the screw, it may need replacing or, at a minimum the engraving may need refreshing. Good luck.

Thanks Mike. While I was there yesterday, and had the rifle on the bench, we could see that the slider section in the broken off wing had moved. I couldn't see a screw on it then but I didn't do a detailed look with good lighting and magnification, so perhaps one is there. Thank you for sharing this info.

Chris,
If you can't find a screw, there is a chance it is soldered (likely soft solder, but possibly silver solder) and application of some heat may loosen the broken slider or may reveal a screw. Good luck.
Mike

It *I*S* soldered, with 95 % likelihood. Can still be broken off though, at the soldering line.
Good grief, put some Elmer's Glue on it, and keep your peace henceforth; many commentators here do not seem to understand how the rear lower base of an SEM (Suhler Einhakmontage) works. Although it was ably explained.

No, 7,35 Carcano, here in the good ole US of A, JB Weld is the solution for everything that Gorilla Glue doesn't repair.
