I own an 1885 Winchester Hi-wall that's missing the front tang screw-where can I get such a thing?

If your looking for the plug screw to go in where the tang sight front screw would go try Wisner's part #6464A. They show it as fitting the 94,92,90, 73 and 61 but I believe it is the same as the 85.

Threads are the same, just don't get one too long and/or screw it in too far or it may interfer with the sear spring.
