I have a nice new production 1873 Winchester. I am still working out the loads for the darn 45 Colt chambering..
Anyway... The originals had trap door butt-plates for a cleaning rod. the new production guns do not. HAS ANYONE SEEN A RE-PRO BUTT-PLATE WITH A TRAP built into it ???
 
Is yours rifle or carbine?
I have a Uberti 1873 saddle-ring carbine from @ 1991 vintage and it has the compartment. The endplate is carbine style and the door is a slide open.
I dunno if Uberti makes their rifles (1873) with the trapdoor buttplate....might be somewhere to start looking. I sorta doubt it is going to fit the Miroku without some alterations.
