54 cal. rifle from marchino italy, through cabelas,who havent sold for 10-15 years, im refurbing to shoot , need a rear sight,has brass buttstock, and is a #10 per.cap,28"barrel.help. need the pushrod and the lug tubes for it also, david from taxas
 
thank you. im needing to know what catagory the rear sight is a,b,c,d,??? has a 1.5" from screww holes. also a rail for the lugs for the ram rod, also is original on is wood or //
 
David what you're calling a rail is actually called the under rib. The push rod you referring to is called a ramrod. You can buy them just about anywhere online. just make sure its 3/8" diameter. The ramrod tubes are pretty much universal. You can probably find ones for a Hawken on Ebay.
Now the screws that hold them in are another matter. Take the barrel and go to the local hardware store and find flat head screws that fit the threads. The heads have to be flat enough to go below the inside surface of the thimbles. Ebay has at least 1 thimble listed with screw. Maybe you'll get lucky and the screw size/thread will be the same.
