Wow your the first person I have heard of who has had a problem with this seller on Ebay. Sorry to hear it. He does have hard to find parts for carbines but not getting what you pay for is not right.

Correct me if I'm wrong BUT , isn't the lower hinge screw common to M1 rifle short buttplate screws ,
M1 Carbine buttplate screws as well as M1903 upper buttplate screws along with the M1A1 Carbine lower hinge screw ? I have a bunch of these screws in the original packaging as well as ONE brand new lower hinge still in rock hard mid 1940's cosmoline that I picked up overseas a few years ago.
I am flat on my ass on a back board right now . BUT if you don't need it yesterday we can sort it out when I am mobile , in the hopefully not to distant future.

I found a fellow who replaces the leather cheek pieces and installs parkerized steel rivets. I had him do mine and he did a superb job. And very fast turn around, too. I'll give his name to anyone looking to have this done.
