Hi,does anyone have a source for the original Springfield tang shims?
Failing that, if someone has one, could they possibly give me the measurements?

Not aware of originals, but unit armorers did make and install many (should be legal, but theyre not). Easy to make, use a strip of paper laid in the inlet and press it in the impression with the pencil eraser. Remove and trim for a template then transfer to correct thickness hardwood shim. Note, punch hole first, then trim the rest, they split otherwise. Glue in place an stain/BLO inlet.
i have some, will have to look for them. they are still in a packasge
Cheers Chuck, I await with interest.
Randy, many thanks for the information.
Are these issue Chuck?
Nice one Chuck, if you are thinking of thinning the herd, let me know.
these were in the G.I. package when I got them
Another small part we haven't seen around here.
I can quite understand if you want to keep them, rare things these days, but I would appreciate the measurements when you get a chance (including depth) so I can make a couple.
