CMP hasn't had 1903s for a dog's age last I looked

I need to source a locking, relatively hard yet classic looking wall display unit for one pistol and one rifle. I don't want to hide my best wwii stuff in the safe, but if I'm putting it on the wall I need it to be solid.

Starting to stone a sig 1911 trigger bow. Interesting to note the pattern of the the high points.

I pulled it off the market anyway. It is a really nice example, and I don't want to replace it later.
Noxx:
Eight or nine years ago I grabbed a pretty nice Marlin 24 at an auction for fifty or sixty bucks. That summer, I shot some skeet with it, and during some fast shooting (It's an autotrigger like all the old slide actions) it locked up on me, probably got the recoil safety out of position. I got home, took it apart, and promptly forgot about it. For years.
Today I finally decided to get it squared away, and after a lot of cleaning and some stoning, I went to get into reassembly, and damned if I'm not missing the recoil lug and a couple of the super-weird old Marlin screws.
So now I'm at an impasse... buy the replacement parts for more than I paid for it, or put it mostly back together and just hang the bugger over the fireplace.
