Can anyone help me out and point me in the right direction?? I have this rifle but it's missing the hammer and hammer screw. Neat little gun I'd like to get functioning and hopefully shoot some day. But obviously sourcing parts for old guns isn't easy. Anyone have a lead on where I can look??
 
I've had luck on ebay.ca, of all places. I was just looking the other day and it was dry but watch it often because there are a couple "stores" that occasionally part out a rifle or two, a variety of models. The bidding on the parts though can go crazy. I've also picked up the odd part on the EE - but they don't surface often. I'm a long distance from any gunshow but I imagine I'd find some odd parts there.

Numrich occasionally gets some small pieces but rarely. They don't last long. Just another place to look.

Wisener's has SOME parts (I don't think they have hammers) but of course you'll have to use Prophet River or IRUNGUNS - gets costly for a small part if they do have it.

Otherwise, I make my own parts ... just a little milling machine and lathe but more than adequate for these sorts of things.
 
Hacksaw and file, along with a copy of whichever of the DeHaas "Mr. Single Shot" series of books has the appropriate diagrams in it to copy.
Other than that, hit the gun shows if you can and gather up business cards and contact info of gun parts dealers that deal in used parts.
