I badly scratched the magazine tube on my Winchester / Miroku 1873 Short Rifle (20"). I called Winchester parts to purchase a replacement, explained I did not have a part number because no schematic was available, but after confirming the length, the rep put me on hold, then came back and said no Miroku parts for at least a couple of months, but she wouldn't take a backorder. She also told me that only a Miroku magazine tube will work.
Has anyone else experienced a lack of parts from Winchester on the Miroku's? Is something up? And is there another source for Miroku parts (I checked Miroku's EU website - no luck).
Thanks.
