rem 12 gallery special forearm parts

Guy from work approaches me to find him some screws to fit the forearm of an early Rem 12 Gallery special. An online search yielded a diagram and a source, so I ordered a set (actually 2 as they had a minimum).

Come to find out he needs the screws and the bushing that fits in the forearm into which the screws nest as they tighten in the threads of the mag tube assembly. It is an early rifle that only uses one screw, no lockscrew.

I double checked the diagram, and the bushing doesn't show, at least, I don't see it, and an online search yields nothing yet. Interestingly, bob's gun shop in AR sells new wood, but the bushing is absent.

Where can I find a forearm that I can scavenge, or replace the existing one entirely, that includes these missing bushings. The little rifles were popular, but now that I'm hunting parts, I can't find what I need.
