I am trying to find sources for parts, particularly the "cover" or "loading gate" or "loading ramp" for my Winchester Model 55 .22 rimfire single-shot automatic. This part is plastic. Someone here at THR mentioned a while back that a gunsmith or machinist was making one of these "covers" for him. Don't know if it was going to be steel or plastic. My cover is not missing. The only problem with it is that the end of the little "catch" is either worn off or broken off. The purpose of this "catch" is to keep the spring-loaded "cover" from pushing up past flush with the top of the receiver. I am thinking about trying to remove the "cover", add a drop or two of epoxy to the worn or broken end, let it harden, then file to correct shape. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Parts for that gun are about non-existent, as there were only some 45,000 made and they were made for only three years. If I were you, I would try what you suggest.

I recently inherited my fathers Winchester model 55.He purchased it brand new as a kid,sold it later and then had a gentlemen ask him a year ago if he would like to give it to one of his children.Sounds to me like it has more sentimental value then monetary value.Either way I'll give it to my grandson one day as i think I am old school with the the thought of of one shot and make it count and is a safe gun as well.Good learning gun.The mechanics on mine work great.However my father carved my mothers name into the stock when he first got it and appears to be the only thing wrong with it.I might be interested in a replacement stock if anyone has one.
