The model 1936 is basically the same rifle as the previous model 1893. Most all parts are exact, except for some visible design changes. The bolt/carrier and most internal parts are exactly the same and should fit in the the 1936. You wont be able to able to find many places offering parts for the 1936. I had to replace a carrier on a 1936 for a customer(I'm a part time gun smith) and figured this out by doing a lot of research. My best resource for antique firearm parts is Numrich Gun Parts at http://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/Products.aspx?catid=3969
They have parts for the 1893/1936 in stock and are very reliable.
Good Luck!!
