If it's a 1915 receiver, get 1915 wood.    Smiley


Good point - I forgot that.

1915's have smaller diameter trigger and hammer screws, should be marked 1915 model on top tang. 


Hammer and trigger screws interchange neatly between my 1894s and my 1915.  Ditto the breechblock and lever pivot screws.  I have only one 1915; I'd like the hammer/trigger screws to be about .050 longer to fill the hole better on the right side.  Do not know if mine is correct or not.  

The quick way to ID a 1915 receiver is to measure the thickness.  1915s are about .930" thick, 1894s are only about .870".   Breechblock of a 1915 is about .545" thick; an 1894 is only .496" or so.  
Thanks for the "Gunbroker" tip but I'm in Canada and ad says "no international shipping".
Seems its an 1894, Receiver is .872", breech block is .483". Full Octagon barrel (what's left of it) with a take down screw.

Well, now we know what model you have, anyway.   Shame about the inane export regs that scare that guy into not shipping to Canada.    So it goes.
