Parts for Flint Pistol

[Loyer]

I need to find a source for a top jaw and jaw screw for a EIC Land Pattern flintlock pistol. All the USA sources seem to want a high price just to ship (Iie: $7.00 for the jaw and $25 to mail it).
Are there any Canadian sources for such original or reproduction parts ?

Loyalist arms here in Nova Scotia. I have visited and had good dealings with them.

Yep, Blair at Loyalist Arms.

I forgot about them, thanks for the replies. I will email them immediately.

You will have to re thread the hole for the top jaw screw. Modern screws are the wrong thread pitch.

You could easily make a new one. That’s what I wound do. Then age it to match the patina.

Proper approach but a little challenging to do without a lathe. Head and shank could be shaped with a drill, files/grinder, time and care, but the thread ......

Rats....Loyalist Arms is out of stock.

Ended up making one with my 1" belt sander, hack saw, file and drill

Loyer mentioned using a 1" belt sander...
For years I have used the little S-5 sander from Viel Tools. I see the price has gone up dramatically over the last thirty odd years. Can do either flat plate or slack belt sanding.

Best investment I’ve ever made was my 2x72” Velocity knife grinding system with variable speed. It works excellent for a number of tasks. Including roughing out gun stocks.
