M1916 Holster "spreader" or toe insert or whatever it"s called help

**CatBacker88** · 03-10-2024 12:34 PM

I have a decent condition M1916 holster (a Bucheimer) that's somehow missing the little insert or plug or barrel rest or spreader thingy that's supposed to be inside the bottom of the holster. Does anyone know where I might find a proper replacement for it? Over the years I've seen both leather and plastic there, just never saw one without one!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Here's a set of drawings that if you take a bit of care can be printed off to life size to reproduce. If you look at the guy's work on the thread he speaks in, he reproduced a 1912 and a 1916 holster perfectly...
