Hello Gents, Happy Holidays to all, looking for an original G43 dust cover, may be difficult
to find and a replacement screw for a G41W buttplate , two questions:(1) availability of original
dust cover and if difficult to find any opinions on the repro dust covers on Ebay (2) Looks like
the G41 buttplate screw is a little different than the G43 buttplate screw, are they the same and
interchangeable? Thanks for any assistance that you may be able to provide.

I may be wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure the G43 butt plate screw is unique and not interchangeable with the G41.

Do you mean the sliding dust cover on top of the bolt housing? Do you have a milled or stamped bolt housing? If you have a stamped housing, do you need the long (manual) dust cover with the "handle" in the back or the shorter automatic dust cover?

Thanks so much for the responses on the buttplate screw, now to the dust cover:

Yes, it is the dust cover on top of the bolt housing, AC 44, the bolt housing is stamped, have reviewed
the espenholt website, I note the Ebay covers have the long manual dust cover only with the handle
in the back, long or short? Thanks for your responses, Flareman
 
Have reexamined the dust cover, it is stamped as indicated before, with a notch on the right
side, according to Espenholts pictures the dust cover should the one with the lip on the top
which appears to be the same type dust covers offered on Ebay, Correct? Thanks, Flareman
 
Yep, the covers on eBay are the longer, manual dust covers for the stamped housing. They work better than the automatic ones anyways. Price is about right for a repro. There are videos on YouTube in regards to dust cover removal and installation.
