    Still looking. Need barrel catch, spring and button. Also pivot pin/screw.

    Rodney Storie sells casting sets for the Stevens Tip-Up rifle action. You might see if he has extra castings for the barrel wedge and button.

    The pivot pin would be best turned and threaded to fit. The wedge casting will need to be spotted and filed to fit, and the button threaded and finished. But it’s the best way to go.

    Old parts that govern the lockup in these models will likely be too worn, and make the action loose and rattly. They can cause the action to pop open on firing, in this condition. Don’t ask how I know this.

    The barrel cut for the wedge looks good. Hasn't been messed with or peened as I've seen on a couple.

    I've looked for contact info on Rodney but can't find anything. Do you know what it is?

    Thank you! Auto pop open isn't usually good

    It's a rifle but might be interested in a pistol.
