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.
