I need a trigger plate screw for my W C Scott 1870's vintage hammer gun in order to complete my "shade tree" restoration. I know most of you guys are not going to like this, but it started out as a 10 gage with 30 inch barrels. It is now a W C Scott coach gun with 20 inch barrels. When I got it, it was missing the top rib and trigger guard. I took the advice of one of the board members and hammered out a trigger guard that was originally for an L C Smith. Kinda made it fit. As for the top rib,I went to a machinist and got a piece of metal that I am satisfied with. My intent is to fix this thing for "display only". I tried a model 21 trigger plate screw and it was a little big. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can come up with anything close (trigger guard) I will greatly appreciate the information.
BTW, I only have 150 bucks in this gun and having a correct restoration has never been my intent.
Best regards,
Max
